Lyrics: Steve Cropper/Otis Redding
Music: Steve Cropper/Otis Redding
Sittin’ in the mornin’ sun, I’ll be sittin’ when the evening comes
Watchin’ the ships roll in, then I watch ‘em roll away again
Sittin’ on the dock of the bay, watchin’ the tide roll away
I’m gonna sit on the dock of the bay, wastin’ time
I left my home in Georgia, I was heading for the Frisco bay
I’ve had nothin’ to live for, looks like nothin’s gonna come my way
And I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay, watchin’ the tides roll away
I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay, wastin’ time, ooh
Looks like nothin’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’ on the dock of the bay (sittin’ on the)
Watchin’ the tide roll away
I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wastin’ time
I said wastin’ time (ooh yeah)
Anybody wanna sit
Anybody wanna sit now
On the dock now
Hey anybody wanna sit
Ooh anybody wanna sit now
Hey anybody wanna sit
Anybody wanna sit now (ooh)
Anybody wanna sit
I need to rest my weary bones
Anybody wanna sit now
Sit
