[Verse 1] Sitting in the morning sun I'll be sitting when the evening comes Watching the ships roll in Then I watch them roll away again, yeah [Chorus] I'm sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooh, I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time [Verse 2] I left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco bay Because I've had nothing to live for And look like nothing's going to come my way [Chorus] So I'm just going to sit on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooh, I'm sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time [Verse 3] Look like nothing's going to 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, listen Sitting here resting my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen 2000 miles I've roamed Just to make this dock my home [Chorus] Now I'm just going to sit at the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooh wee, I'm sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time
