Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay Lyrics - Singles - Otis Reding

Sitting in the morning sun 

I'll be sitting when the evening comes 

Watching the ships roll in 

And I watch 'em roll away again 

Sitting on the dock of the bay 

Watching the tide roll away 

I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay 

Wasting time 

I left my home in Georgia 

Headed for the 'Frisco bay 

'Cause I had nothin' to live for 

And look like nothing's gonna come my way 

So I'm just 

Sitting on the dock of the bay 

Watching the tide roll away 

I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay 

Wasting time 

Look 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 

Sittin' here resting my bones 

And this loneliness won't leave me alone 

It's two thousand miles I roamed 

Just to make this dock my home 

Now, I'm just 

Sitting on the dock of the bay 

Watching the tide roll away 

I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay 

Wasting time
