Sittin' in the morning sun I'll be sittin' when the evening comes Watching the ships roll in Then I 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 wastin' time I left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco bay 'Cos I've had nothing to live for And look like nothing's gonna come my way So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooh, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time Look like nothing's gonna change Everything still remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do So I guess I'll remain the same, listen Sittin' here resting my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen 2000 miles I've roamed Just to make this dock my home Now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooh wee, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
