I'm
sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I'll watch them roll away again
Sittin' on the dock of a bay,
watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of a bay,
wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia,
I had it on a Frisco Bay
I had nothin' to live for,
don't look like nothin'
gonna come my way
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Well, it looks like nothing's
gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
I guess I'll remain the same
Sittin' here, restin' my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I've roamed
To make this dock my home
Sittin' on the dock of May
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of May
Wastin' time
Oh
Well, it looks like nothing's
gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
I guess I remain the same
I'm sittin' here,
restin' my bones
Restin' those lonely days
Don't leave me, don't leave me
Two thousand miles I roam
To make this dark my home
Sittin' on the dock of a bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of May
Wastin' time
Wastin' time
So much precious time
I'll be there
Mm -hmm
I'll be there
Just tell me
