The Dock of the Bay

The Dock of the Bay - Mandelbarth/Manumatei

Written by：Mandelbarth/Otis Redding/Steve Cropper

Sittin' in the mornin' sun

I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes

I'm watchin' the ships roll in

Then I watch 'em roll away again

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' my time

I left my home in Georgia

Headed for the frisco bay

'Cause I had nothin' to live for

Since like nothin's gonna come my way

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

Looks like nothin's gonna change

Everything remains the same

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

I guess I'll remain the same yes

Sittin' here restin' my bones

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

Two thousand miles I roam

Just to make this dock my home

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' my time hmmmmmmmm
