Sittin in the morning sun,
I`ll be sittin' when the evening come,
Watching the ships roll in,
And I'll watch 'em roll away again, hey,
I'm gonna sit on the dock on the bay,
Watching the tide roll away. ooh lord,
Sittin' on the dock on the bay,
Wasting time. Ah hu hu,
I left my home in Georgia,
Headed for the Frisco bay. lord lord,
I have nothing to live for,
seems like nothings gonna come my way, hey,
I'm gonna sit on the dock on the bay
Watching the tide roll away. ooh yeah,
sittin' on the dock on the bay,
Wasting time. Ah hu hu,
Look like nothings gonna change, Ah hu,
Everything remains the same,
I can't do what ten people tell me to do,
So I guess I'll just remain the same.
Sittin' here resting my bones,
cause this loneliness won't leave me alone. no honey,
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home. hey,
I'm gonna sit on the dock on the bay
Watching the tide roll away. ooh lord,
Sittin' on the dock on the bay
Wasting time
