Sitting in the morning sun I'll be sitting till the evening comes Watching the ships roll in Then I'll watch'em roll away again Sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooh ooh, sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time I left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco bay Cause I had nothing to live for Looks like nothing gonna come my way Oh! Sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooh! oh! sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time Ooh, looks like nothing's gonna change Everything still remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do, no So I guess I'll remain the same Sitting here resting my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone Two thousand miles I roamed Just to make this dock my home Oh! Sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time, hum Ooh, looks like nothing's gonna change Everything still remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do, no So I guess I'll remain the same Sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time, hum
