(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay Lyrics by Otis Redding
Album : Dreams To Remember: The Otis Redding Anthology
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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
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
