Sitting on the Dock of the Bay Lyrics

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch'em roll away again
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
And looks like nothing's gonna come my way

Yeah, here I'm...

ah-Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

Mm-mm-mm-mm

<...instrumental break featuring steel guitar...>

Looks like nothing's gonna changing
Everything still remains the same-ah
Well I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same
Sittin' here I restin' my bones
This loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roamed
To make this Key West dock my home

Now I'm...

Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Mm-mm-mm-mm

Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, dear
[Fade]
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Mm-mm-mm-mm

On this dock, watchin' that Key West sunset
Wishin' I had you here by my side
Wasting time
Sitting on the dock of the bay
