Sittin' in the morning sun I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watchin' the ships roll in then I watch 'em roll away again
Yes I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay watchin' the tide roll away
Just sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia headed for the Frisco Bay
I have nothing to live for looks like nothing's gonna come my way
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay watchin' the tide roll away
Yes just sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
Looks like nothing's ever change everything still remains the same
I can't do what them people tell me to do so I guess I'll remain the same
Sittin' here restin' my bones and this loneliness won't leave me alone
Yes two thousand miles I roamed just too make this dock my home
Yes I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay watchin' the tide roll away
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
