(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay

(album: All Fly Home - 1978)

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

I'm sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the time roll away
Oh

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 nothing to live for
And look Like nothin's gonna come my way
So I'm just goin to sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the time roll away

Ooh
I'm sitting on the dock the dock of the bay wasting time
Look pop nothin's going to 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
Yes

Sitting here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
Yes

2000 miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home
Now I'm jus' gon' sit at the dock of a bay
Watching the time roll away
Ooh

Sitting On the dock of the bay wasting time
