Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in

And I watch 'em roll away again

[Chorus]

Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm just sitting 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 nothing 's gonna come my way


So I'm just...


[Chorus]

Look 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


Sittin here resting 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...

[Chorus]


[Whistle]
