Well, well, well, yeah - oooh Sittin' in the mornin' sun I'll be sittin' till the evenin' come Watching the ships roll in, yea! Then I watch 'em roll away again, Lord I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooh, sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time I left my home in Jamaica Headed for London town I have nothing to live for Looks like nothin's gonna come my way Lord, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooh, sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time Looks like nothing's gonna change Everything still remains the same, woo I can't do what some people tell me to do So I guess I'll remain the same, Lord! Sittin' here resting my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone, yea Three thousand miles I roamed Just to make this London my home Lord, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay Just to make this London my home, Lord I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooh, sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time
