Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' in the evening come
Watching the ships roll in,
then I watch them roll away again yea
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
watching the tide roll away
Oh, I'm just sittin' 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
like nothing's gonna come my way
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
watching the tide roll away
Oh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
wasting time
-
Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same
Sittin' here resting my bones
and this loneliness won't leave me alone
These 2000 miles I roamed
just to make this dock my home
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
watching the tide roll away
Oh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
wasting time
((Whistle))
