Lyrics:
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 tide 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 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

With my dad about to jump off because else fail
Anthem
Sorry but came here because of Keith Holmes' badman
When a child in the 60's I felt a melancholy, heartbreaking familiarity with this song. I still sit on the dock of the bay sometimes.
This whole song is a vibe
Great soul, from a great a soul. Go brightly, brother.
The Beast robbed us of his genius by taking him away so soon. Smh
Incredible music. A legend for sure.
Been sitting and trying for an eternity
Bist Du es, Prigoshin?
Ein Platz bei mir.
Ich bin auch N i g g e r. Niemand merkt es. Ich bin cool.

What a beautiful heartfelt song.
Of all of Otis Redding music brings me to tears and listen to all his music these days
It is incredible how non of these comments seem to understand the true meaning of this record. This song is far away from being positive. Just like Talking Heads – naive melody/this must be the place it is far away from things being ok.
" I have nothing to live for, look like nothings gonna come my way" indicates a lack of hope and giving up the fight so sitting on the dock of the bay and wasting time is the only thing left to do since he can't go any further and no matter of the actions he will take, nothing seems to matter, because nothing will help his life situation.
Don't want to break this whole thing into pieces for you guys but I could. if anyone cares
I'm dying, you are funny!
I love you OT
100M + views…I hope we did you proud, Otis.
I can’t believe another rock legend died in a plane cras.
I love love love this song…no one else can sing it like Otis redding…I have listened to this song over 60 years..I can sing along with Otis and not mess up lol..
this song reminds me of my dad a lot, we had this little inside joke where wed say "sit by the bay, make things out of clay, i just may, what do you say?" and we both love this song. he died last may.
he sang this and his plane crashed into water makes me cry its lyrics are sittin on the dock of the bay and his plane crashed into water
My grand father passed away a couple months back and this was his favorite I always cry when I think when him and I where Siting on our dock of our lake listening to this song and hanging out together.. <3
Go tell your mom you love them,go buy that thing you’ve always wanted, go explore that one part of town you’ve never been to, go text that friend you haven’t talked to in years because one day you won’t be able to anymore. Life is full of regrets but all we can do is accept our mistake and try to move on. Forgive,live and be happy because this is the one life you’ll get
Most beautiful rasp of a voice. Could you imagine having this man’s singing voice
It’s a fabulous song sung by a great artist
Sitting on the dock of the Bay in my backyard gives me peace joy and happiness and love
在这首歌曲的,其中一部分为什么开始有一些很奇怪的很高音的吹口哨的声音
在这首歌曲的其中,一部分有吹口哨的声音,听起来像一些鸟的声音
