Sitting on the Dock of the Bay
Otis Redding
Sittin’ in the mornin’ sun
I’ll be sittin’ when the evenin’ come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch ’em roll away again, yeah
Chorus
I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I’m just sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wastin’ time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the ‘Frisco bay
I’ve had nothing to live for
And look like nothin’s gonna come my way
Repeat Chorus
Refrain
Look 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
Sittin’ here resting my bones
And this loneliness won’t leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home
Repeat Chorus
Whistle 2x
