Sittin' in the mornin' sun     

Watching the ships roll in
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
And then I watch 'em roll away

again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time                       

Watching the tide roll away

 
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for    

I left my home in Georgia
And look like nothin's gonna come

my way

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

 
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 Look like nothing's gonna change

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
Just to make this dock my home  It's two thousand miles I roamed

Watching the tide roll away
Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock

of the bay
Wastin' time

(whistle)
