Sittin' in the mornin' sun

I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come

Watching the ships roll in

Then I watch 'em roll away again yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

Ooo sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia

Headed for the 'Frisco bay

I've had nothing to live for

Look like nothin's gonna come my way

So I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

Ooo sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

Look like nothing's gonna change

Everything still remains the same

I can't do what ten people tell me to do

So I guess I'll remain the same yes

Sittin' here resting my bones

This loneliness won't leave me alone

Two thousand miles I roamed

Just to make this dock my home

Girl sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time
