Umphrey's McGee > Songs > (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay > Lyrics


    Sittin' in the morning sun
    I'll be sittin' when the evening come
    Watchin' the ships roll in
    Then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

    I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
    Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
    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 nothing's gonna come my way

    So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay
    Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
    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, listen

    Sittin' here resting my bones
    And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
    Two thousand miles I roam
    Just to make this dock my home, now

    I'm just gon' sit at the dock of a bay
    Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
    Sittin' on the dock of the bay
    Wastin' time
