(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay

(Sittin' On The Dock of the Bay (Sa - Sam & Dave

Written by：Redding/Cropper

Sittin' in the mornin' sun

I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes

Watchin' the ships roll in

Then I watch 'em roll away again

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

Watchin' the tide roll away

Ooh I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay wastin'

Time

Left my home in Georgia

Headed for the frisco bay

I had nothin' to live for

Seems like nothin's gonna come my way

That I'm here say sittin'on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

Ooh sitting on the dock of the bay wastin'

Time

Looks like nothing's gonna change

Everything everything remains the same

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

So I guess I'll remain the same

I'm sittin' here restin' my bones

And this loneliness won't leave my alone

Two thousand miles I roam

Just to make this dock my home

Let me hear your same

I'm sitting on the dock of the bay

Ooh I watch the tide

All the way

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time
