Sittin' in the mornin' sun I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come Watching the ships roll in And then I'll watch 'em roll away again I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Sit on the dock of the bay Wastin' time Left my home in Georgia Headed for the 'Frisco bay 'Cause I've got nothing to live for And nothin's gonna come my way I'm gona sit on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Sit on the dock of the bay Wastin' time Looks like nothing's gonna change, no, no Everything still remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do So I guess I'm gonna stay the same Sittin' here resting my bones This loneliness won't leave me alone It's two thousand miles I roamed Just to make this dock my home I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Oooo, Imma sit on the dock of the bay Wastin' time I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay Wastin' time Wastin' time Wastin'... time
