(Sitting On) the Dock of the Bay Songtext

von Studio Musicians

Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again, now

I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh yeah
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
And im'a wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
I was headed for the Frisco Bay
Because I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way now

I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh yeah
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
And im'a wastin' time
Listen
It Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same now
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, now

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, oh lord
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home, now

I'm gonna sit at the dock of a bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh lordy
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
And im'a wastin' time
(Whistles)
