( Sittin' On ) The Dock of the Bay

Sittin' in the mornin' sun

I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come

Watchin' the ships roll in

And I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia

Headed for the Frisco Bay

'Cause I had nothin' to live for

And look like nothin's gonna come my way

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

Watchin' the tide roll away

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

Looks like nothin's gonna change

Everything still remains the same

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

So I guess I'll remain the same

I'm sittin' here restin' my bones

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

This two thousand miles I roam

Just to make this dock my home

Now I'm just gone, I'm sittin' at the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time
