Les paroles de la chanson
« Sitting on the dock of the bay »
Otis Redding

Sittin’ in the mornin’ sun
I’ll be sittin’ when the evenin’ comes
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch’ em roll away again, yeah
I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Watchin’ 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
’Cause I’ve had nothin’ to live for
And look like nothing’s
Gonna come my way

So I’m just gonna sit
On the dock of the bay
Watchin’ 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 restin’ my bones
And this loneliness won’t leave me alone
Listen, two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home

Now I’m just gonna sit
At the dock of the bay
Watchin’ the tide roll away
Ooh wee I’m sittin’
On the dock of the bay
Wastin’ time
