Sittin' in the mornin' sun I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come Watchin' the ships roll in Then I watch 'em roll away again Yea I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' the time roll away Oh I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time I left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco Bay Cause I had nothin' to live for And look Like nothin's gonna come my way So I'm just goin to sit on the dock of the bay Watchin' the time roll away Ooh I'm sittin' on the dock the dock of the bay wastin' time Look pop nothin's goin' to 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 Sittin' here restin' my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone Yes 2000 miles I roam Just to make this dock my home Now I'm jus' gon' sit at the dock of a bay Watchin' the time roll away Ooh Sittin' On the dock of the bay wastin' time
