Sittin on the dock of the Bay

Otis Redding

Verse

Sittin’ in the morning sun
AI’ll be sittin’ when the evening come
Watching the ships roll in
then I’ll watch ’em roll away again, yeah

Chorus

I’m just sittin’ on the dock of the bay
watching the tide roll away
ooo I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay
wasting ti—ime

Verse

I left my home in Georgia and I
Headed for the Frisco
‘Cause I’ve got nothing to live for
Look like nothing’s gonna come my way

Chorus

I’m just sittin’ on the dock of the bay
watching the tide roll away
ooo I’m sittin’ on the dock of a bay
wasting ti—ime

Bridge

Look like nothing’s gonna change
Everything seems to stay the same
I can’t do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I’ll remain the same

Verse

Sittin’ here resting my bones
and this loneliness won’t leave me a–lone
These 2000 miles I roamed
just to make this dock my home

Chorus

I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away. ooo
Sittin’ on the dock of the bay
I’m wasting ti—ime
