Unit 5: Sitting on the dock of the bay (Otis Reding)

Otis Reding: Sitting on the dock of the bay (1967)

Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening come
Watching the _______ roll in
And then I ______ them roll away again, yeah

I'm ______ on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll _____
Ooo, I'm just sitting on the dock of the ____
Wasting ______

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I've had ______ to live for
And look like nothin's gonna _______ my way

So I'm just gonna sit on the ______ of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' ______

_______ like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the ______

I can't do what ______ people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, ______

Sittin' here resting ______ bones
And this loneliness won't leave me ______
It's two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make _______ dock my home

Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll ______
Oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' ______
(whistle)
