Lyrics:

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
Ooh, 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
Ooh-wee, sit' at the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
