(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay

(albüm: Bring It On Home... The Soul Classics - 2006)

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

I'm sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, 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've had nothing to live for
And look like nothin's gonna come my way

So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

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, yes

Sitting 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 gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Oooo-wee, sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

[Whistle]
