Sittin' in the morning sun I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watchin' the ships roll in then I watch 'em roll away again
Yes I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay watchin' the tide roll away
Just sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time.
I left my home in Georgia headed for the Frisco Bay
Cause I have nothing to live for looks like nothing's gonna go my way
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay watchin' the tide roll away
Yes, just sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time.
