Percy Sledge - (sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay lyrics

rate me

Sittin' in the mornin' sun

I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes

Watchin' the ships roll in

Then I watch 'em roll away again

(Yeah,) I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away,

(Ooh, I'm just) sitting on the dock of the bay, wastin'

time

Left my home in Georgia

Headed for the Frisco Bay

I had nothin' to live for

Looks like nothin's gonna come my way

(So,) I'm just gonna sittin'on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away,

Ooh, I'm (just) sitting on the dock of the bay, wastin'

time

Looks like nothin's gonna change;

Everything, everithing remains the same

I can't do what ten people tell me to do

So I guess I'll remain the same

Looks like nothin's gonna change;

Everything, everithing remains the same

I can't do what ten people tell me to do

So I guess I'll remain the same

I'm sittin' here restin' my bones

And this loneliness won't leave my alone

Two thousand miles, I roam

Just to make this dock my home

Now, I'm just gonna sit, on the dock of the bay

Ooh, I watch the tide

No, I'm gonna watch the tide roll away

On the dock of the bay

Ooh wastin', wastin', Ooh no, no no no
