(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay

(Otis Redding - Steve Cropper)



Sittin' in the morning sun I'll be sittin' when the evening comes

Watchin' the ships roll in then I watch 'em roll away again

Yes I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay watchin' the tide roll away

Just sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time.



I left my home in Georgia headed for the Frisco Bay

I have nothing to live for looks like nothing's gonna come my way

I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay watchin' the tide roll away

Yes, just sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time.



Looks like nothing's ever change everything still remains the same

I can't do what them people tell me to do so I guess I'll remain the same

Sittin' here restin' my bones and this loneliness won't leave me alone

Yes, two thousand miles I roamed just too make this dock my home.



Yes, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay watchin' the tide roll away

I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time...
