Sittin' in the mornin' sun

I'll be sittin' when the evening comes

Watchin' the ships roll in

Then I'll watch 'em roll away again



Chorus:

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin the tide roll away

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wasting time



I left my home in Georgia

Headed for the Frisco Bay

Cause I had nothin' to live for

And look like nothin's gonna come my way

So I'm just gonna..



Chorus (with minor changes)



Look like nothin'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



Just sittin' here restin my bones

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

It's two-thousand miles I roamed

Just to make this dock my home

Now I'm just gonna..



Chorus (with minor changes)



Whistling til end
