(sittin' on) the dock of the bay

sittin' in the morning sun

i'll be sittin' when the evening comes

watching the ships roll in

then i watch them roll away again

yeah

i'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

watchin' the tide roll away

ooh

i'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

wastin' time

i left my home in georgia

headed for the frisco bay

cuz i've had nothing to live for

and look like nothing's gonna come my way

so

i'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay

watchin' the tide roll away

ooh

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 do

so i guess i'll remain the same

listen

sittin' here resting my bones

and this loneliness won't leave me alone

listen

two thousand miles i roam

just to make this dock my home

now

i'm just gon' sit at the dock of a bay

watchin' the tide roll away

ooh

sittin' on the dock of the bay

wastin' time
