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' time      I left my home in Georgia   Headed for the Frisco Bay   I have nothing to live for   Look like nothing's 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' time      Look 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' hear resting my bones   And this loneliness 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 time
