Sittin' in the morning sun 
I'll be sittin' 'till the evening comes 
Watching the ships roll in 
And I'll watch 'em roll away again 
I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay 
Watching the tide roll away 
Sit on the dock of the bay wastin' time 
Left my home in georgia 
Headed for the frisco bay 
'cos I got nothing to live for 
And nothing's gonna come my way 
I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay 
Watching the tide roll away 
Sit on the dock of the bay wastin' time 
Looks like nothing's gonna change no no 
Everything's still remains the same 
I can't do what ten people tell me to do 
So I guess I'm gonna stay the same 
Sittin' here restin' my bones 
This loneliness won't leave me alone 
It's two thousand miles I roam just 
To make this dock my home yeah 
I'm gonna sit on the dock of the 
Bay watching the tide roll away 
Ooh I'ma sit on the dock 
Of the bay wastin' time 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh 
Ooh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh 
I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay 
Wastin' time 
Wastin' time 
Wastin' time
