Dock Of The Bay lyrics
by Otis Redding



Sitting in the morning sun

I'll be sitting when the evening comes

Watching the ships roll in

Then I watch them roll away again

I'm sitting on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay

Wasting time



I left my home in Georgia

Headed for the Frisco bay

Cause I've had nothing to live for

It looked like nothing's gonna come my way, so

I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

I'm sitting on the dock of the bay

Wasting 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'll remain the same



Sitting here resting my bones

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

Two thousand miles I roam

Just to make this dock my home

Now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

Sitting on the dock of the bay

Wasting time
