Song Lyrics

Sittin' in the mornin sun

I'll be sittin when the evenin' come

Watchin the ships roll in

Then I watch 'em roll away again

Yea

I'm sittin on the dock of the bay

watchin the time roll away

Ooh

I'm just sittin on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia

Headed for the Frisco Bay

Cause I had nothin to live for

And look Like nothin's gonna come my way

So I'm just goin to sit on the dock of the bay

Watchin the time roll away

Ooh

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

Look pop nothin's goin to 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

Yes

Sittin' here restin my bones

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

Yes

2000 miles I roam

Just to make this dock my home

Now I'm jus' gon' sit at the dock of a bay

watchin the time roll away

Ooh

Sittin On the dock of the bay wastin' time



Whistle 23 seconds
