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
