I’ll be sittin’ when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch ‘em roll away again
I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Watcing the tide roll away
Sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the ‘Frisco Bay
I have nothin’ to live for
Look like nothing’s gonna come my way
So I’m just sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Watcing the tide roll away
Sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
Look 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
Two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this old dock my home
Now I’m just sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Watcing the tide roll away
Sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
