Sitting On the Dock of the Bay

Sittin' in the mornin' sun

I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come

I'm watchin' the ships roll in

Then I watch 'em roll away again

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia

I headed for the 'Frisco bay

I have nothing to live for

Looks like nothing's gonna come my way

Oh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

I'm watchin' the tide roll away

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

Looks like nothing's gonna change

Everything still remains the same

I can't do what ten people tell me to

So I guess I'll remain the same

Looks like nothing's gonna change

Everything still remains the same

I can't do what ten people tell me to

So I guess I'll remain the same

Sittin' here restin' my bones

This loneliness won't leave me alone

Just two thousand miles I roamed

Just to make this dock my home

Oh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

But I'm sittin' (Sittin' on the dock of the bay)

Lord, sittin'

But I'm just sittin' (Sittin' on the dock of the bay)

Sittin', oh (Sittin')

And, oh, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
