(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay

(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watching the ships roll in
And I watch 'em roll away again, oh
Just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tides roll away
Ooh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Harlem
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I got nothing to live for
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tides roll away
Ooh, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Look like nothing's gon' change
Everything remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes
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
So I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
*Whistling*
