Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again

I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sit on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
‘Cause I've had nothing to live for
And nothing's gonna come my way

I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sit on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Looks like nothing's gonna change, no
Everything still remains the same, yeah
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same

Sittin' here resting my bones
This loneliness won't leave me alone
It’s two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home

I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

(whistle or sing along to whistling part)

I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Wastin’ time
Wastin’ time
Wastin’ time
