Sittin' in the mornin' sun   I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come   Watchin' the ships roll in   And I'll watch 'em roll away again, yeah      I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay   Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh   I'm 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 nothings gonna come my way      So I'm just go sit on the dock of the bay   Watchin' the tide roll away   I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay   Wastin' time      Look like nothings gonna change   Everythin' still remain the same   I can't do what ten people tell me to do   So I guess I'll remain the same, yes      Sittin' here restin' my bones   And this loneliness won't leave me alone, yes   Two thousand miles, I roam   Just to make this dock my home      Now I'm just go sit at the dock of the bay   Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh   Sittin' on the dock of the bay   Wastin' time
