Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting till the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I'll watch'em roll away again
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh ooh, sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay
Cause I had nothing to live for
Looks like nothing gonna come my way
Oh! Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh! oh! sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
Ooh, looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do, no
So I guess I'll remain the same
Sitting here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home
Oh! Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time, hum
Ooh, looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do, no
So I guess I'll remain the same
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time, hum
