(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay

Sittin' in the morning sun

I'll be waitin' till the evening comes

Watching those ships roll in

And I'm watching roll away again, yeah

Sittin' on the dock of the bay, I'm just

Watchin' the tide roll away,

Sittin' on the dock of the bay, I'm just

Wastin' time

I'm just wasting time

Left my home in Georgia

I was headed for the Frisco Bay

I had nothing to live for

And nothing there was going my way

Sittin' on the dock of the bay, I'm just

Watchin' the tide roll away,

Sittin' on the dock of the bay, I'm just

Wastin' time

I know I'm wasting time

Looks like everything gonna change

Nothing here is gonna remain the same

I can't get ten people who roll me till dawn

So I guess I'll remain the same,

Sittin' here resting these bones

And this loneliness won't leave me alone, no

Two thousand miles I roam

Just to make this dock my home,

Sittin' at the dock of a bay, I'm just

Watchin' the tide roll away,

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

I'm wastin' time, ooh

I'm wasting time
