Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything just remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll just remain the same
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's been two thousand miles I've roamed
Just to make this dock my home
Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
