(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay - The Staple Singers

Sittin' in the morning sun

I’ll be sittin' when the evening come

Watching ships roll in

And I’ll watch 'em roll away again

Lord, I’m just sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wasting time

I left my home in Georgia

Headed for the Frisco bay

I have nothing to live for

Looks like nothings gonna come my way

So I’m gonna sit on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away, ooh Lord

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wasting time, oh

Look like nothings gonna change

Every, everything still remains the same

I can’t do what ten people tell me to do

So I guess I’ll remain the same, yeah

Sittin' here resting my bones

This loneliness won’t leave me alone, no

Two thousand miles I roam

Just to make this dock my home

Now, I’m just sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away, yeah

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wasting time, oh yeah

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wasting time, time, time, oh

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wasting time, time, time

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wasting time, time, time

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wasting time, time, time, oh

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wasting time, time, time
