Sittin' in the morning sun

I'll be sittin'

when the evening come

Watching the ships roll in

and I'll watch 'em

roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the

dock of the bay

watching the tide roll away

Ooh, I'm just sittin' on

the dock of the bay

wasting time

I left my home in Georgia

headed for the Frisco bay

'Cos I have nothing to live for

and look like nothing's

gonna come my way

So I'm gonna sit

on the dock of the bay

watching the tide roll away

Ooh, I'm sittin' on the

dock of the bay

wasting time

Look like

nothing's gonna change

everything still remain

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

and this loneliness

won't leave me alone, yes

Two thousand miles I roam

just to make this dock

my home

Now I'm gonna sit

at the dock of the bay

watching the tide roll away

Ooh, I'm just sittin' on

the dock of the bay

wasting time
