Jim Ed Brown – Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay lyrics
Sittin' in the morning sun sittin' I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watchin' the ships roll in then I watch 'em roll away again
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay watchin' the tide roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
I left my home down in Georgia headed for the Frisco Bay
I've had nothing to live for looks like nothing's gonna come my way
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
Looks like nothing's ever change everything still remains the same
I can't do what them people tell me to do so I guess I'll remain the same
Sittin' here restin' my bones and this loneliness won't leave me alone
Yes two thousand miles I roamed just too make this dock my home
Now I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay watchin' the tide roll away
Yes I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
