[Verse 1]
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

[Chorus]
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll, just roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

[Verse 2]
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
I've had nothing to live for
Look like nothin's gonna come my way

[Chorus]
Just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll, just roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' my precious, precious time, oh yeah

[Bridge]
Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything, I mean everything remains the same
I won't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain, I'll remain the same, yeah

[Bridge]
It looks like nothing's ever gonna change
Everybody, everything remains the same
I won't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain, I'll remain the same

[Verse 3]
Sittin' here resting my bones
This loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home

[Chorus]
I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll, just roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' precious time, oh yeah

[Outro]
Gonna sit (Sittin' on the dock of the bay)
Oh yeah (Sit), oh yeah (Sit)
I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Gonna watch the tide roll (Sit), just roll (Sit)
I'm gonna sit, gonna sit (Sittin' on the dock of the bay)
Oh whoa (Sit), whoa (Sit)
Gonna sit (Sittin' on the dock of the bay)
