sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
watchin' the ships roll in
then I watch'em roll away again
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
watchin' the tide roll away
sittin' on the dock of the bay
wastin' time
I left my home in dalmatia
headed for the frisco bay
I have nothing to live for
look like nothing gonna came my way
so I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
watchi' the tide roll away

sittin' on the dock of the bay
wastin' time
look like nothing gonna change
ev'rything still remains the same
I can't do what eight people tell me to do
so I guess I'll remain the same
sittin' here restin' my bones
and this loneliness won't leave me alone
ten thousand miles I roam
just to make this dock my home
now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the boy
watchin' the thide roll away
sittin' on the dock of the boy
wastin' time
