Sittin the Dock of the Bay - Otis Redding

Sittin’in the morning sun

I’ll be sittin’when the evening comes

watching the ships roll in and then I watch them roll away again, yeah

I’m sittin’on the dock of the bay

watching the tide roll away

I’m sittin’on the dock of the bay

wasting time

I left my home in Georgia

headed for the Frisco Bay

because I’ve had nothin to live for

and look like nothin’s gonna come my way

So I’m just gonna sit on the dock of the bay

watchin’the tide roll away

I’m sittin’on the dock of the bay

wasting time

Looks like nothin’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

Sitting here resting my bones

And this lonliness won’t leave me alone

It’s 2,000 miles I’ve roamed

Just to make this dock my home now

I’m just gonna sit at the dock of the bay

watchin’the tide roll away

I’m sittin’on the dock of the bay

wasting time
