Straight No Chaser - (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay / Proud Mary Lyrics






Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again, yeah

Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
I'm Headed for the Frisco Bay
I've had nothing to live for
Like nothing's gonna come my way

I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the Man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin',
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of a city
'Til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Said we we rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river...

Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the Man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin',
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin'

    This my favorite Acapella group and my cousin is Jerome Collins. I love you Jerome.

  2. M.... L....

    saw them two weeks. ago in Tennessee and they were incredible!! I was skeptical when I heard them but they have proved me wrong!!! I look forward to seeing them again

  3. T.... E....

    these guys are awesome..."no homo"... but their harmony is unfound for decades.. this is doo-wop at its finest!!! Rhythm & Soul you can't find that anywhere now a days but these boys have it.

  4. l.... l....

    I saw them in concert at Christmas in South Bend Indiana 2016. The whole family went. My husband was skeptical being that he'd never been to anything like it before. He had an amazing time and wants to see them again!

  5. D.... S....

    I love the song sitting on the dock of the bay you do so much that I would really love you guys to do the whole song buy itself it's one of my favorites, so please would you do the whole song & do a video for it. It would really make my day thanks. By the way you guys are super awesome keep up the awesome work cuz truly everything you do is awesome.

  6. T.... J....

    I really wish they did the full cover of sittin on the dock of the bay. It's my favorite song <3

  7. C.... Y....

    I love Tyler's vocal percussion.

  8. m.... ....

    What chords are you guys singing? I can't figure out some of those luscious chords in the beginning. You probably know the one's I'm thinking of ;)

  9. J.... O....

    Love it!

  10. S.... G....

    One of the fun things about this recording, and about SNC in general, is that I can pick out each individual member's voice here and there throughout the song(s). SNC is very good at maximizing the strengths of every member of the group, no matter the song.

  11. m.... ....

    Cool!!!!

  12. v.... ....

    I wonder what the chances are that this album will be released on vinyl....

  13. J.... S....

    i saw them in kansas not to long ago and it would be amazing if they came back

  14. M.... Z....

    Somethings cool about the fact that they use warner video instead of the usual vevo. Plus they're much better than Pentatonix. Oh! Burn!

    It's not really a burn, nor is it comparable. It's ignorance on your part.

    SNC is 10 guys that have been doing this for, quite literally, decades.
    Pentatonix is 5 people, who have been doing it for a couple of years.

    And if you ever watched The Sing Off (the competition that Pentatonix WON) you'd realize that while a capella groups sound differently depending on the number of people they have, it doesn't make them any worse or better. With bigger groups there's always going to be a more "full" sound that sounds more akin to instruments, simply because more voices give you that ability.

    Also, Pentatonix wasn't even a group before the Sing Off, while Kirstin, Mitch and Scott were all friends before hand, Avi and Kevin were brought in for the show, they literally met face to face for the first time the week before the show. Given all that, I'd say Pentatonix is pretty damn good in their own right. I enjoy listening to them both, and loved seeing SNC in concert this year. Putting down another group, doesn't make you a good fan of the group you like, it just makes you an asshole.

    M.... Z....

    Yup! :-)

    @Andrea Mckay A like wasn't enough <3

  18. s.... ....

    simply amazing.
