(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay

Lyrics

[Intro] Fa-fafafafa-fafafafa Fa-fafafafa-fafafa [Verse 1] Sittin' in the morning sun, I'll be sittin' when the evening come Watchin' the ships roll in, then I'll watch 'em roll away again [Chorus] I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tides roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time [Verse 2] I left my home in Georgia, headed for the Frisco bay I had nothin' to love for, nothin's gonna come my way [Chorus] I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tides roll away I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time [Bridge] Look like nothing's gonna change Everything remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do Guess I got to remain the same [Verse 3] Sittin' in the morning sun, I'll be sittin' when the evening come Ten thousand miles I roamed, I got to make this dock my home Lord, have mercy! [Chorus] Sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tides a-just roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay, oh Lordie Oh somebody, somebody help me right here [Vamp] Fa-fafafafa-fafafafa, somebody come on home I just need you here, I gotta have you there I just need you in my lovin' arms I got-got-got-got-got, I gotta have your love (Fa-fafafafa-fafafafa) All your love in the mornin' (Fa-fafafafa-fafafafa) The only man, gagagagagagagagagagagaga I can't turn you loose, baby, holdin' you tighter Girl, say you've been- oh, I'm just hoping (Fa-fafafafa-fafafafa) That everything got to get better Ships going in and out (Fa-fafafafa-fafafafa) And I'm right here, sittin' on the dock I'm just sittin' on the dock, sittin' here, baby Somebody help me, Lord, ah...
