Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when
the evenin' comes
Watchin' the
ships roll in
Then I watch 'em
roll away again
I'm just 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 got nothin' to live for
Looks like nothin's
gonna come my way
So, I'm just sittin' on the
dock of the bay
Watchin' the
tide roll away
Hmm, sittin' on the
dock of the bay,
wastin' time...
Looks like
nothin's gonna change
Everything, everything
still remains the same
I can't do what ten
people tell me to do
So I guess
I'll remain the same
I'm sittin' here
restin' my bones
But this loneliness
won't leave me alone
Two thousand
miles I roam
Just to make
this dock my home
So, 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.....
