Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I'll watch 'em roll away again... Yea
I'm sittin' on the dock of a bay
Watching the tide roll away... ohhh
I'm just sittin' on a dock of a bay
Wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay
Cause I have nuthin' to live for
And look like nuthin's gonna come my way
So... I'm just gonna sit on a dock of a bay
Watching the tide roll away... ohhh
I'm sittin' on a dock of a bay
Wastin' time
Look like nothings 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 restin' my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone... listen
Two thousand miles I rome
Just to make this dock my home
Now... I'm just gonna sit at the dock of a bay
Watching the tide roll away... ohhh
I'm sittin' on a dock of a bay
Wastin' time
[Whistle solo]
