THE DOCK OF THE BAY

Sittin' in the mornin' sun

I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes

Watchin' the ships roll in

Then I watch 'em roll away again

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide, roll away

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time





Left my home in Georgia

Headed for the Frisco Bay

I had nothin' to live for

Looks like nothin's gonna come my way

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

Watchin' the tide roll away

Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time





Looks like nothin's gonna change

Everything, everything remains the same

I can't do what ten people tell me to do

So I guess I'll just remain the same





I'm sittin' here restin' my bones

Two thousand miles, I roam

Just to make this dock my home

I'm just gonna sit, on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time
