(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay
(Otis Redding / Playing For Change)
Sittin’ in the morning
sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watchin’ the ships
roll in
Then I watch them roll away again, yeah
I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Watchin’ the tide
roll away, ooh
I’m just sittin’ on the dock of
the bay
Wastin’ time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
Cuz I've had nothing to live for
And looks like nothing's gonna come my way
So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin’ the tide
roll away, ooh
I'm sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wastin’ time
Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still
remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to
do
So I guess I'll remain the same, listen
Sittin’ here restin’
my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone,
listen
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home, now
I'm just gon' sit at the dock of a bay
Watchin’ the tide
roll away, ooh
Sittin’ on the
dock of the bay
Wastin’ time
