Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Sittin' in the morning sun

I'll be sittin' when the evening come

Watching the ships roll in

Then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

[Chorus]

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away, ooh

Just sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

[Verse 2]

I left my home in Georgia

Headed for the 'Frisco Bay

I've had nothing to live for

Look like nothing's gonna come my way

[Chorus]

So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away, ooh

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

[Bridge]

Looks 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, listen

[Verse 3]

Sittin' here restin' my bones

And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen

Two thousand miles I roam

Just to make this dock my home, now

[Chorus]

I'm just gon' sit at the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away, ooh

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time
