Sittin' in the morning sun I'll be sittin' when the evening comes Watchin' the ships roll in And I watch 'em roll away again So, I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay And watch the tide roll away, mhm I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay And waste my time I left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco Bay I have nothing to live for Looks like nothing's gonna come my way So, I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay And watch the tide roll away, yah I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay And waste mytime 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 Sittin' here resting my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone Two thousand miles I roam Just to make this dock my home So, I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay And watch the tide roll away, mhm I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay And waste my time (whistling)
