(Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay Lyrics By The Reddings

    sitting in the mornin’ sun
    i’ll be sitting when the evening comes
    watching the ships roll in
    then i watch ’em roll away again yeah

    sitting on the dock of the bay
    watchin’ the tide roll away ooh wee
    i’m sitting on the dock of the bay
    wasting 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 come sitting on the dock of the bay
    watching the tide roll away ooh wee
    i’m sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time

    looks like nothin’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

    sitting here resting these bones
    and this loneliness won’t leave me alone
    it two thousand miles i roamed
    just to make this dock my home

    now i’m just sitting on the dock of the bay
    watching the tide roll away ooh wee
    im sitting on the dock of the bay
    i’m wasting time
