(Sitting, sitting, sitting on the dock of the bay)
(I'm just a-sitting now)
(Sitting, sitting on the dock of the bay)
(I'm just a-sitting now)

I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tides roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wasting time

Sittin in the morning sun
I`ll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
And I'll be watchin' roll away again

I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tides roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, watching time

(Sitting, sitting, sitting on the dock of the bay)
(I'm just a-sitting now)
(Sitting, sitting on the dock of the bay)
(I'm just a-sitting now)

I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tides roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wasting time

Left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I've got nothing to live for
Look like nothings gonna come my way

I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tides roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wasting time
