Sitting in the morning sun I'll be sitting in the evening come Watching the ships rolling in And I'll watch them roll away again Sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide rolling Sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time I left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco bay I had nothing to do for Looked like nothing gonna come that way Sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll in Sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time Look mama, nothing's gonna change Every thing's still remain the same I can't do what them people tell me to do So I guess I'll remain the same Sitting in the morning sun I'll be sitting in the evening come Watching the ships rolling in And I'll watch them roll away again Sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide rolling Sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time
