Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay - Original

Sittin' in the mornin' sun, I’ll be sittin' till the evening’s done
Watchin' the ships roll in, then I watch 'em roll away again
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time…
I left my home in Georgia, headed for the 'Frisco Bay
I’ve got nothin' to live for, looks like nothing’s gonna come my way, yeah…
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin on the dock of the bay wastin' time…
Looks like nothing’s ever gonna change, everything still remains the same
I can’t do what ten people want me to, so I guess I’ll remain the same
Oh, sittin' on a roll in my bones, this loneliness won’t leave me alone
Two thousand miles I’ve roamed, just to make this dock my home, yeah…
I’m sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin on the dock of the bay wastin' time…
I left my home in Georgia, headed for the 'Frisco Bay
Sittin' here restin' my bones, this loneliness won’t leave me alone, yeah…
Two thousand miles I’ve roamed, just to make this dock my home, yeah…
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin on the dock of the bay wastin' time…
