"Dock of the Bay, The" by Otis Redding

Sittin in the mornin sun
Ill be sittin when the evenin come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch em roll away again, yeah

  Im sittin on the dock of the bay
  Watching the tide roll away
  Ooo, Im just sittin on the dock of the bay
  Wastin time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay
Cause Ive had nothing to live for
And look like nothins gonna come my way

  So Im just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
  Watching the tide roll away
  Ooo, Im sittin on the dock of the bay
  Wastin time

Look like nothings gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I cant do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess Ill remain the same, yes

Sittin here resting my bones
And this loneliness wont leave me alone
Its two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home

  Now, Im just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
  Watching the tide roll away
  Oooo-wee, sittin on the dock of the bay
  Wastin time
