Sittin' in the morning sun

I'll be sittin' till the evenin' come

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

Sittin on the dock of the bay

Wastin time



I left my home in Georgia

Headed for the Frisco Bay

I have nothin to live for

Look like nothin gonna come my way

So I'm sittin on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

Sittin on the dock of the bay

Wastin time



Looks like nothin gonna change

Ev'rything still remains the same

I cant do what ten people tell me to do

So I guess I'll remain the same



Sittin here restin my bones

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

Two thousand miles I roam

Just to make this dock my home

Now I'm sittin on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin time
