(Sittin' on the) Dock of the Bay Songtext
von The Staple Singers

Sittin′ in the morning sun
I'll be sittin′ when the evening come
Watchin' ships roll in
Then I'll watch ′em roll away again
Lord, I′m just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin′ the tide roll away, mm
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin′ time, mm

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I have nothing to live for
Looks like nothing's gonna come my way
So I′m gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh Lord
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin′ time, oh


Looks like nothing′s gonna change
Every, everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I′ll remain the same, yeah

Sittin' here restin′ my bones (my bones)
This loneliness won't leave me alone, no (loneliness won′t leave me alone)
Two thousand miles I roam (I roam)
Just to make this dock my home
Now, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin′ the tide roll away (oh, yeah)
Sittin′ on the dock of the bay, wastin' time, oh yeah

Sittin′ on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time, time, time (oh)
Sittin′ on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time, time, time
Sittin′ on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time, time, time
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin′ time, time, time (oh)
Sittin′ on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time, time, time
