(sitting On) The Dock Of The Bay Lyrics - Singles - Otis Redding

Sittin' in the morning sun 

I'll be sittin' when the evening comes 

Watching the ships roll in 

Then I watch them roll away again, yeah 

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay 

Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh 

I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay 

Wastin' time 

I left my home in Georgia 

Headed for the Frisco Bay 

Cuz I've had nothing to live for 

And look like nothing's gonna come my way

So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay 

Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh 

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay 

Wastin' time 

Looks 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, listen 

Sittin' here resting my bones 

And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen 

Two thousand miles I roam 

Just to make this dock my home, now

I'm just gon' sit at the dock of a bay 

Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh 

Sittin' on the dock of the bay 

Wastin' time
