The Dock of the Bay Songtext
Sittin′ in the mornin' sun
I′ll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch ′em roll away again, so
I′m sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
OO, yeah, I′m just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin′ time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay′
Cause I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothin's gonna come back my way
So I′m just gon′ sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away,
Uu, yeah, sit' on the dock of the bay
Wastin′ time
Looks 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 will remain the same, ah
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won′t leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home
Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
OO-wee, sit' at the dock of the bay
Wastin′ time
I′ll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch ′em roll away again, so
I′m sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
OO, yeah, I′m just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin′ time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay′
Cause I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothin's gonna come back my way
So I′m just gon′ sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away,
Uu, yeah, sit' on the dock of the bay
Wastin′ time
Looks 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 will remain the same, ah
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won′t leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home
Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
OO-wee, sit' at the dock of the bay
Wastin′ time
