(Sittin’ On The) Dock Of The Bay

OR_Sittin-On-The-Doc

 →

Otis Redding wrote this song in 1967, while living on a houseboat in Sausalito on the San Francisco Bay.
 
Otis recorded this song shortly before his tragic death. Steve Cropper finished production on the song after Otis’ plane went down.
 
Released posthumously, it was Otis’ biggest hit, and still remains one of the most-inspired songs ever written.

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
Ooo, I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay – Watching the tide roll away
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…)
