  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, yeah
• GGGAGEEE
  R1:
  I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay 

  Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh 

  I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay 

  Wastin' ti-i-ime

  S2:
  I left my home in Georgia 

  Headed for the Frisco Bay 

  'Cause I've had nothing to live for 

  And look like nothing's gonna come my way
• GGGAGEEE
  R1:
  So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay 

  Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh 

  I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay 

  Wastin' ti-i-ime

  B1:
  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, listen

  S3:
  Sittin' here resting my bones 

  And this loneliness won't leave me alone (listen) 

  Two thousand miles I roam 

  Just to make this dock my home, now

  R1:
  I'm just gon' sit at the dock of a bay 

  Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh 

  Sittin' on the dock of the bay 

  Wastin' ti-i-ime
