Sittin' in the morning sun I'll be sittin' when the evening comes Watching the ships roll in And I'll watch them roll away again I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wasting time, yeah
I left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco bay, yeah 'Cause I have nothing to live for Look like nothing's gonna come my way So I've just to sit on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay Just wasting time, hey, hey, yeah yeah…
Oh…It looks like nothing's gonna change Yes everything remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do I guess I'll remain the same, yeah
Sittin' here resting my bones This loneliness won't leave me alone It's two thousand miles I roam Just to make this dock my home
So I've just to sit on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Just wasting time, ah wasting time…
