Lyrics:

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I had nothin' to live for
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way
I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Gonna watch the tide roll away
Ha-uh, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time, yeah
Looks like nothin's gonna change, no
I, everything, everything remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yeah

Looks like nothin's ever gonna change
Everything remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same
I'm sittin' here restin' my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles, I roam
Just to make this dock my home
I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Oh, gonna watch the tide, roll, gonna watch the tide roll away
On the dock of my bay
Gonna waste, wait, hold on, gon-
Now I'm gonna, just I'm gonna sit
(Sittin' on the dock of the bay)
Oh, hoh, oh, yeah
(Sittin')
Oh, hoh, I, ohhh
(Sittin' on the dock of the bay)
Oh, whoa, whoa (Sittin')
Oh-oh, why-I, ha-yeah
(Sittin' on the dock of the bay)
