Sittin in the morning sun,
I`ll be sittin' when the evening come,
Watching the ships roll in,
And I'll watch 'em roll away again, yeah,
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay,
Watching the tide roll away, ouh,
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay,
Wasting time.

I left my home in Georgia,
Headed for the Frisco bay
I have nothing to live for, 
Look like nothings gonna come my way,

So I'm just go sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away,
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay,
Wasting time 

Look like nothings gonna change,
Everything still remain the same,
I can't do what ten people tell me to do,
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes,

Sittin' here resting my bones,
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, yes, 
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home 

Now I'm just go sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wasting time 

These arms of mine

These arms of mine
They are lonely
Lonely and feeling blue 
These arms of mine 
They are yearning 
Yearning from wanting you 

And if you
Would let them
Hold you Oh how grateful I will be 

These arms of mine 
They are burning 
Burning from wanting you 
These arms of mine 
They are wanting 
Wanting to hold you 

And if you 
Would let them hold you
Ohh how grateful I will be 

Come on, come on baby
Just be my little woman [yeah]
Just be my lover I need somdbody, 
[Somebody] To treat me right 
[Ohh] I need your warm loving arms to hold me tight 
And I need you tender lips too 
Hold me, hold me
