Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again, oh

I'm sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, I'm sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

Left my home in Georgia
And headed for the 'Frisco bay
I've had nothing to live for
Look like nothing's gonna come my way

I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

Looks like nothing'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, oh

Sitting here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's just two thousand miles I roamed
Oh, just to make this dock my home

Oh, I'm sitting at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, yeah, I'm sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything remains the same
Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything remains the same

Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything remains the same
Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything remains the same

Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything remains the same
Looks like nothing's gonna change
Looks like nothing's gonna change
