Sittin' in the mornin' sun, I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes. Watching the ships roll in, then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah. Chorus: I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, watching the tide roll away. Oo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time. Verse 2: I left my home in Georgia, headed for the 'Frisco Bay. I have nothing to live for, it look like nothin's gonna come my way. Chorus: So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay, watching the tide roll away. Oo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time. Bridge: Look like nothing's gonna change. Ev'rything still remains the same. I can't do what ten people tell me to do, so I guess I'll remain the same, yes. Verse 3: I'm sittin' here restin' my bones, and this loneliness won't leave me alone, yes. Two thousand miles I roamed just to make this-a dock my home. Chorus: Now, I'm just gon' sit at the dock of the bay, watching the tide roll away. Oo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time.
