Sittin' in the mornin' sun I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come Watchin' the ships roll in And then I'll watch 'em roll away again I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away Sit on the dock of the bay wastin' time, ooh ooh ♪ I left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco bay 'Cause I've got nothing to live for And nothing's gonna come my way I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away Sit on the dock of the bay wastin' time ♪ Looks like nothing's gonna change, no no Everything still remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do So I guess I'm gonna stay the same, ooh ♪ Sittin' here restin' my bones This loneliness won't leave me alone Two thousand miles I roam Just to make this dock my home, yeah I'm gonna sit at the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh I'ma sit on the dock of the bay wastin' time ♪ I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay! Wastin' time, wastin' time, wastin' time
