Sittin in the mornin sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watchin the ships roll in
Then and I watch 'em roll away again

I'm just sittin on the dock of the bay
Watchin the tide roll away
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 have nothin to live for
And looks like nothin's gonna come my way

So I'm just sittin on the dock of the bay
Watchin the tide roll away
I'm just sittin on the dock of the bay
Wastin 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 

Sittin here restin my bones
And wish this loneliness would leave me alone
For 2.000 miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home

Now I'm just sittin on the dock of the bay
Watchin the tide roll away
I'm just sittin on the dock of the bay
Wastin time 

Now I'm just sittin on the dock of the bay
Watchin the tide roll away
I'm just sittin on the dock of the bay
Wastin time
I'm just sittin on the dock of the bay
Wastin time
I'm just sittin on the dock of the bay
Wastin time
