otis redding - (sitting on) the dock of the bay lyrics
(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)
