(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay Songtext
von Louis Bertignac

Sitting in the morning sun
I′ll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
And I'll watch ′em roll away again

I'm sitting at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm just sitting at the dock of the bay
Wasting time

I left my home in Georgia
Heading for the Frisco Bay
′Cause I have nothing to live for
It looks like nothing′s gonna come my way


I'm sitting at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away, ooh
I′m sitting at the dock of the bay
Wasting time

Look out, nothing's gonna change
Everything still remain the same
I can′t do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess, I'll remain the same

Sitting, resting my bones, oh
This loneliness won′t leave me alone
Two thousand miles, I roam
Just to make this dock my home

I'm sitting at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away, ooh
I'm sitting at the dock of the bay
Wasting time
