Sittin' in the mornin' sun I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come Watchin' the ships roll in Then I'll watch 'em roll away again ...Yea Im sittin' on the dock of a bay Watching the tide roll away ...ohhh Im just sittin' on a dock of a bay Wastin' time I left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco bay Coz I have nuthin' to live for And look like nuthin's gonna come my way So...I'm just gonna sit on a dock of a bay Watching the tide roll away ...ohhh Im sittin' on a dock of a bay Wastin' time Look like nothings 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 this loneliness won't leave me alone ...listen Two thousand miles I rome Just to make this dock my home Now... I'm just gonna sit at the dock of a bay Watching the tide roll away ...ohhh Im sittin' on a dock of a bay Wastin' time [Whistle solo]
