Verse 1

Sittin' in the mornin' sun

I'll be sittin' when the evening comes

Watchin' the ships roll in

And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

Chorus 1

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

Just sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

Verse 2

I left my home in Georgia

Headed for the Frisco Bay

I have nothing to live for

Looks like nothing's gonna come my way, yeah

Chorus 2

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

Just sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

Bridge

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

Verse 3

I'm sittin' here restin' my bones

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

For two thousand miles I've roamed

Just to call this dock my home

Chorus 3

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

Just sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

And that's it.
