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 Just sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco Bay I had nothin' to live for Looks like nothin's gonna come my way So 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, still remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do So I guess I'll remain the same
I'm sittin' here restin' my bones And slowly, no slowly me alone Two thousand miles, I roam Just 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
