Lyrics:

Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch them roll away again

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

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
Because I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothin's going to come my way

So I'm just going to sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

Look like nothing's going to 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

Sitting here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home

Now, I'm just going to sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
