(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay

Otis Redding - (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay Lyrics

[Verse 1]Sittin' in the mornin' sunI'll be sittin' when the evenin' comeWatching the ships roll inAnd then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah[Chorus]I'm sittin' on the dock of the bayWatching the tide roll awayOoh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bayWastin' time[Verse 2]I left my home in GeorgiaHeaded for the 'Frisco bay'Cause I've had nothing to live forAnd look like nothin's gonna come my way[Chorus]So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bayWatching the tide roll awayOoh, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bayWastin' time[Bridge]Look like nothing's gonna changeEverything still remains the sameI can't do what ten people tell me to doSo I guess I'll remain the same, yes[Verse 3]Sittin' here resting my bonesAnd this loneliness won't leave me aloneIt's two thousand miles I roamedJust to make this dock my home[Chorus]Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bayWatching the tide roll awayOoh-wee, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bayWastin' time[Outro]*Whistling*
