Sitting'in the morning'sun i'll be sitting'when the evenin comes watchin the ships roll in then I watch'em roll away again sitting 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 'Cause I've nothing to live for look like nothing's gonna come my way so I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay watchin the tide roll away just sittin on the dock of the bay, wastin' time look like nothing gonna change ev'ry thing 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 the lonelyness won't leave me alone it's two thousand miles I roam just to make this dock my bay so I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay watchin the tide roll away just sittin on the dock of the bay, wastin' time
