Sitting in the morning sun

I'll be sitting when the evening comes

Watching the ships roll in

And I watch 'em roll away again



<i>[Chorus]</i>

Sitting on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay

Wasting time



I left my home in Georgia

Headed for the 'Frisco bay

'Cause I had nothin to live for

And look like nothing 's gonna come my way



So I'm just...



<i>[Chorus]</i>



Look 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



Sittin here resting my bones

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

It's two thousand miles I roamed

Just to make this dock my home



Now, I'm just...



<i>[Chorus]</i>



<i>[Whistle]</i>
