Sittin in the morning sun
I`ll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
And I'll watch 'em roll away again
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the time roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wasting time.
I left my home in Georgia
And I headed for the Frisco bay
I've got nothing to live for
Look like nothings gonna come my way
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the time roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wasting time
[Brother] Look like nothings gonna change
Everthing seems to stay the same
I can't do what ten [/twenty] people tell me to do So I guess I'll just remain the same
Sittin' here resting my bones
Cause this loneliness won't leave me alone
10000 miles from home Just to make this dock my home
So I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the time roll away, ooh
Sittin on the dock of the bay Wastin' time
[Whistle Fade Out]
