Sittin' in the mornin' sun

I'll be sittin' when the evening comes

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

Just sittin on the dock of the bay

Wastin' ti-hi-hi-hi-hime



I left my home in Georgia

Headed for the Frisco Bay

I have nothing to live for

Look like nothings gonna come my way, yeah



So I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

Yes I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' ti-hi-hi-hi-hime



Look like nothin'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' hear resting my bones

And this lonliness won't leave me alone, yeah

But two thousand miles I roam,

Just to make this dock my home, yeah



Now I'm sittin' at the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away, yeah

I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wasting ti-hi-hi-hi-hime
