Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay
The Drifters

Sittin' in the mornin' sun

I'll be sittin' till the evenin' comes

Watching your ship roll in

And I watch 'em roll away again


Hey, I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

Ooh Lord, sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time


I left my home in Georgia

Headed for the 'Frisco Bay

Lord ya, I had nothing to live for

Seems like nothin's gonna come my way


Hey, I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

Ooh yeah, 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

So I guess I'll just remain the same


Sittin' here resting my bones

'Cause this loneliness won't leave me alone

No honey, two thousand miles I roamed

Just to make this dock my home


Hey, I'm gonna sit at the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

Ooh Lord, sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time
