Little Richard - (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay Lyrics






Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay
'Cos I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching 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
2000 miles I've 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
Ooh wee, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time

    I like his version so much better than Otis Redding's version.

    Wow!! You saw him in his Absolute prime ! Do you recall any more songs from his show ?
    I saw him live at Madison Square Garden , oct 31, 1970 and he did mind boggling versions of his hits . He walked on w Lucille and it was unbelievable - 20,000 stood right up. Then the best Good Golly I ever heard . Blueberry Hill and the Midnight Special , etc. thanks .
