Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay (Otis Redding) | Playing For Change | Song Around The World

Sittin' in the morning sun I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come watching the ships roll in and then I watch 'em roll again I'm sitting in the dock of the bay watching the tide roll away I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time yeah I left my home in Georgia headed for the 'Frisco bay 'cause I had nothing to live for and look like nothin's gonna come my way oooh I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay whatching the tide roll away oooh, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time I left my home in Georgia headed for the 'Frisco bay I've had nothing to live for and look like nothin's gonna come my way I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay all the tide roll away I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time yeah 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 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 oooh I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay watching the tide roll away I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay westin' time

Wonderful. Also, I think there's a strong possibility that I've met Grandpa Elliott. I took a trip to NO a few years back and there was a guy hanging around by the river who looked an awful lot like him taking requests for money. I requested this very song.
