Dock of the Bay - Dennis Brown

Sittin' in the mornin' sun

I’ll be sittin' till the evenin' come

Watching the ships roll in, yea!

Then I watch 'em roll away again, Lord

I’m just sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

Ooh, sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time

I left my home in Jamaica

Headed for London town

I have nothing to live for

Looks like nothin’s gonna come my way

Lord, I’m just sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

Ooh, sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time

Looks like nothing’s gonna change

Everything still remains the same, woo

I can’t do what some people tell me to do

So I guess I’ll remain the same, Lord!

Sittin' here resting my bones

And this loneliness won’t leave me alone, yea

Three thousand miles I roamed

Just to make this London my home

Lord, I’m just gonna sit at the dock of the bay

Just to make this London my home, Lord

I’m just sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

Ooh, sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time
