Sitting in the morning sun,
I'll be sitting till the evening comes
Watching your ship roll in,
and I'll watch them roll away again
Hey, I'm gonna sit on the
Watchin' the tide roll away
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
Lord, y 'all, I have nothing to live for
Hey, I'm gonna sit on the
Watchin' the tide roll away
Ooh, yeah, sittin' on the
I can't do what ten people tell me to do,
so I guess I'll just remain the same
Sitting here resting my bones,
No, honey, 2 ,000 miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home
Hey, I'm gonna sit on the
Watchin' the tide roll away
Oh, Lord, sittin' on the dock on the bay
