Sittin' in the morning sun I'll be sittin' when the evening comes

Watchin' the ships roll in then I watch 'em roll away again

Yes I'm sittin' 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 have nothing to live for looks like nothing's gonna go my way

I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay watchin' the tide roll away

Yes, just sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time.
