Artist: Otis Redding Album: The Definitive Collection: The Dock Of The Bay (1992) Title: The Dock Of The Bay
Lyrics The Dock Of The BaySittin’ in the morning sun
I’ll be sittin' when the evening come
Watching the ships roll in
And I'll watch 'em roll away again, yeah
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away, oh
I'm just 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
Look like nothings gonna come my way
So I'm just gonn’ sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
Look like nothings gonna change
Everything still remain the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, yes
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home
Now I'm just gonn’ sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away, oh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
