(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay

Otis Redding · Forever Otis Reding (Coll) (Tin) [2007]

Sittin' in the morning sun

I'll be sitting when the evening come

Watching the ships roll in

Then I'll watch 'em roll away again (Yeah)



I'm sittin' on the dock of a bay

Watching the tide roll away

I'm just sittin' on a dock of a bay

Wasting time



I left my home in Georgia

Headed for the Frisco bay

'Cause I have nothing to live for

And look like nothing's gonna come my way



So, I'm just gonna sit on a dock of a bay

Watching the tide roll away

I'm sittin' on a dock of a bay

Wasting time



Look 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



Sittin' here resting my bones

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

Listen, two thousand miles I rome

Just to make this dock my home



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

Watching the tide roll away

I'm sittin' on a dock of a bay

Wasting time
