Sittin' in the mornin' sun I'll be sittin' when the evening comes Watchin' the ships roll in Then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away Just sittin on the dock of the bay Wastin' time I left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco Bay I have nothing to live for Look like nothing's gonna come my way, yeah So I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away Yes, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time Look 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 Sittin' hear resting my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone, yeah But two thousand miles I roam Just to make this dock my home, yeah Now I'm sittin' at the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away, yeah I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay Wasting time
