Sitting in the morning sun I'll be sitting when the evening comes Watching the ships roll in And I watch 'em roll away again Sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time I left my home in Georgia Headed for the 'Frisco bay 'Cause I had nothin' to live for And look like nothing's gonna come my way So I'm just Sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting 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' here resting my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone It's two thousand miles I roamed Just to make this dock my home Now, I'm just Sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time
