Sitting in the morning sun I'll be sitting when the evening comes Watching the ships roll in And I watch 'em roll away again
{Refrain} Sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time
I left my home in Georgia Headed for the 'Frisco bay 'Cause I had nothin to live for And look like nothing's gonna come my way
So I'm just... {Refrain}
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
Sittin here resting my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone It's two thousand miles I roamed Just to make this dock my home Now, I'm just... {Refrain} (Whistle)
