Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' till the evenin' come
Watchin the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again
Yeah, I'm sittin on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin on the dock of the bay
Wastin time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I have nothin to live for
Look like nothin gonna come my way
So I'm sittin on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin on the dock of the bay
Wastin time
Looks like nothin gonna change
Ev'rything still remains the same
I cant do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same
Sittin here restin my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home
Now I'm sittin on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin time
