Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
And I watch 'em roll away again
So I'm just come sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide, roll away
I'm just come sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time, time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I have got nothin' to live for
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way
So I'm just come sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
I'm just come sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time, time
Looks like nothin'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
I'm sittin' here restin' my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home
So I'm just come sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
I'm just come sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time, time
