lyrics | learn to sing Sittin on the Dock of the Bay

Sittin' in the morning sun, I'll be sittin' with Eve and Kime

Watchin' the ships roll in, and I'll watch her roll away again

I'm just sittin' on the deck of a bay, watchin' the tide roll away

Oh, I'm just sitting on the dock of a bay, wasted time.

I left my home in Georgia, headed for the Frisco Bay.

I have nothing to live for, look like nothing's gonna come my way.

So I'm just sittin' on the dock of a bay Watchin' the tide roll away

Ooh I'm just sittin' on the dock of a bay Wastin' time

Look like nothing's gonna change Everything still remains the same

I can't do what them people tell me to do

So I guess I'll remain the same, yes

Sitting here resting my bones

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

2,000 miles I'll roll

Just to make this dark my home

Now I'm just sitting on the dock of a bay

Watching the time roll away

Ooh, I'm just sitting on the dock of a bay

Waste of time
