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 nothing's gonna come my way
So I'm just go sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away

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
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watchin' the ships roll in
And I'll watch 'em roll away again, yeah
