Sittin' in the morning sun, I`ll be sittin' when the evening come, Watching the ships roll in, And I'll watch 'em roll away again, yeah, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, Watching the tide roll away, ouh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay, Wasting time.
I left my home in Georgia, Headed for the Frisco bay I have nothing to live for, Looks like nothing's gonna come my way,
So I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, Wasting time
Looks like nothing's gonna change, Everything still remain the same, I can't do what ten people tell me to do, So I guess I'll remain the same,
Sittin' here resting my bones, And this loneliness won't leave me alone, Ten thousand miles I roam Just to make this dock my home
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away, ooh Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wasting time.
