Artist : Otis Redding Song : Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay
(SITTIN' ON) THE DOCK OF THE BAY - written by
Otis Redding and Steve Cropper - lyrics as
recorded by Otis Redding December 7, 1967, just
three days before his death in a plane crash
outside Madison, Wisconsin - #1 for 4 weeks in
1968
Sittin' in the mornin' sun I'll be
sittin' when the evenin' come Watching the
ships roll in And then I watch 'em roll away
again, yeah
I'm sittin' on the dock of the
bay Watching the tide roll away Ooo, I'm
just sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin'
time
I left my home in Georgia Headed
for the 'Frisco bay 'Cause I've had nothing to
live for And look like nothin's gonna come my
way
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of
the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooo,
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin'
time
Look like nothing'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, yes
Sittin'
here resting my bones And this loneliness
won't leave me alone It's two thousand miles I
roamed Just to make this dock my
home
Now, I'm 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
(whistle)
