sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I'll watch them roll away again
Sittin' on the dock of a bay,
watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of a bay,
I left my home in Georgia,
I had nothin' to live for,
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Well, it looks like nothing's
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
I guess I'll remain the same
Sittin' here, restin' my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I've roamed
To make this dock my home
Sittin' on the dock of May
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of May
Well, it looks like nothing's
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
I guess I remain the same
Restin' those lonely days
Don't leave me, don't leave me
Two thousand miles I roam
To make this dark my home
Sittin' on the dock of a bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of May
