(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay

(album: Soul Folk In Action - 1968)

Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening come
Watching ships roll in
And I'll watch 'em roll away again

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

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay
I have nothing to live for
Looks like nothings gonna come my way

So I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away, ooh Lord
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time, oh

Look like nothings gonna change
Every, everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yeah

Sitting here resting my bones
This loneliness won't leave me alone, no
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home

Now, I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away, yeah
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time, oh yeah

Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time, time, time, oh
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time, time, time

Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time, time, time
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time, time, time, oh

Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time, time, time
