- 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)
