Sittin’ in the morning sun

I’ll be sittin' when the evening comes

Watching the ships roll in

And I'll watch them roll away again

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wasting time, yeah



I left my home in Georgia

Headed for the Frisco bay, yeah

’ Cause I have nothing to live for

Look like nothing’s gonna come my way

So I’ve just to sit on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Just wasting time, hey, hey, yeah yeah…



Oh…It looks like nothing’s gonna change

Yes everything remains the same

I can't do what ten people tell me to do

I guess I'll remain the same, yeah



Sittin' here resting my bones

This loneliness won't leave me alone

It’s two thousand miles I roam

Just to make this dock my home



So I’ve just to sit on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

I’m sittin' on the dock of the bay

Just wasting time, ah wasting time…
