Dock of the Bay

Dock of the Bay - Dennis Brown

Sitting in the morning sun

I'll be sittin' when the evening comes

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

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

I left my home down in Georgia

Headed for the Frisco Bay

I've had nothing to live for

Looks like nothing's gonna come my way

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

Looks like nothing's ever 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

Sittin' here restin' my bones

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

Yes two thousand miles I roamed

Just too make this dock my home

Yes I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

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

Wastin' time

Looks like nothing's gonna come my way

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Just make this my home

Sittin' in the sun

Watchin' the tide roll away

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
