Sittin` in the morning sun
I`ll be sittin` when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
And a-watching all the waves again
Sittin` on the dock of the bay
Watchin` the tide rollin` away
Sittin` on the dock of the bay
Wastin` time
Left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I have nothin` to live for
Look like nothin`s gonna come my way
So
I`m sittin` on the dock of the bay
. . .
Looks like nothin`s gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can`t do what the people tellin` me to
So I guess I`ll remain the same
Sittin` here restin` my bones
this loneliness won`t leave me alone
2000 miles I`ve roamed
Just to make this dock my home
Sittin` on the dock of the bay
. . .
Looks like nothin`s gonna change
. . .
Sittin` here restin` my bones
. . .
Sittin` on the dock of the bay
. . .
