Sittin` in the morning sun sittin` I`ll be sittin` when the evening comes
Watchin` the ships roll in then I watch `em roll away again
I`m sittin` on the dock of the bay watchin` the tide roll away
I`m sittin` on the dock of the bay wastin` time
I left my home down in Georgia headed for the Frisco Bay
I`ve had nothing to live for looks like nothing`s gonna come my way
I`m just sittin` on the dock of the bay watchin` the tide roll away
Sittin` on the dock of the bay wastin` time
Looks like nothing`s ever change everything still remains the same
I can`t do what them 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
Yes two thousand miles I roamed just too make this dock my home
Now I`m just sittin` on the dock of the bay watchin` the tide roll away
Yes I`m sittin` on the dock of the bay wastin` time
