Sittin' in the mornin' sun, I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes Watchin' the ships roll in Then I watchin' em roll away again I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide, roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time Left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco Bay I had nothin' to live for Looks like nothin's gonna come my way I'm just 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, everything remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do So I guess I'll remain the same *Repeat I'm sittin' here restin' my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone Two thousand miles, I roam Just to make this dock my home I'm just gonna sit, on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away, Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time **Sittin' on the dock of the bay sit Sittin' on the dock of the bay sit Sittin' on the dock of the bay sit Sittin' on the dock of the bay sit **Repeat Sittin' on the dock of the bay
