Dock of the Bay Songtext

von T. Rex

Words & Music by Otis Redding and Steve Cropper

Sung by Gloria Jones

I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay,
Watchin' the tides roll away.
Sittin' on the dock of the bay,
Wastin' time.

Sittin' in the morning sun.
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes,
Watching the ships roll in,
And I'll be watching roll away again.

I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay,
Watchin' the tides roll away.
Sittin' on the dock of the bay,
Watching tides.

Ooh...

I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay,
Watchin' the tides roll away.
Sittin' on the dock of the bay,
Wastin' time.

Left my home in Georgia,
Headed for the Frisco Bay.
I got nothing to live for,
Nothing's gonna come my way.

I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay,
Watchin' the tides roll away.
Sittin' on the dock of the bay,
Wastin' time.

I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay,
Watchin' the tides roll away.
Sittin' on the dock of the bay,
Wastin' time.
