Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay
(Otis Redding)


Sittin' in the mornin' sun
And I watch the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch' em roll away again
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Ooh 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've had nothin' to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way

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

Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything will remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll stay the same

Sittin' here restin' my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home

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