Sittin in the mornin sun

I'll be sittin when

the evenin comes

Watchin the ships roll in

Then I watch um roll

away again

Yeah i'm sittin on

the dock of the bay

watchin the tide roll

a w a y

Ooh ee

Sittin on the dock of

the bay wastin time

Left my home in

Georgia headed for

the frisco bay

I have nothin to live for

Look like nothin

gonna come my way

So i'm just gonna sit

on the dock of the bay

Watchin the tide roll

a w a y

Ooh ee

Sittin on the dock of

the bay wastin time

Look like nothing

gonna change

Everything still

remains the same

I can't do what ten

people tell me to so

I guess i'll remain

the same

Sittin here restin my

bones and this

lonelyness won't

leave me alone

Two thousand miles i

roam just to make this

dock my home

Now i'm just gonna

sit at the dock of

the bay

Watchin the tide roll

a w a y

Ooh ee

Sittin on the dock of

the bay wastin time
