Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sittin' in the mornin' sun I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come Watching the ships roll in And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah [Chorus] I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooh, 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 'Cause I've had nothing to live for And look like nothin's gonna come my way [Chorus] So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooh, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time [Bridge] 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, yes [Verse 3] Sittin' here resting my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone It's two thousand miles I roamed Just to make this dock my home [Chorus] Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooh-wee, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time [Outro] *whistling*
