Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay by Ottis Redding

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 (1)________ 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 (2)________ of the bay
Watching the tide (3)________ away
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Look (4)________ nothing's gonna change
Everything still (5)______________ the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes

Sittin' (6)________ resting my bones
And this (7)____________________ won't leave me alone
It's two thousand (8)__________ I roamed
Just to (9)________ this dock my home

Now, I'm (10)________ gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
