Otis Redding - (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay

Otis Redding - (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay








Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch them 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
Cuz I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way

So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Looks 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 resting 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 gon' sit at the dock of a bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

watching the tide roll away
oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay
wastin' time

OTIS REDDING - THESE ARMS OF MINE

* These arms of mine, they are lonely,
lonely and feeling blue.
These arms of mine, they are yearning,
yearning from wanting you.
And if you would let them hold you,
oh how grateful i will be.
These arms of mine, they are burning,
burning from wanting you.
These arms of mine, they are wanting,
wanting to hold you.
And if you would let them hold you,
oh how grateful i will be.
Come on, come on please let them.
just be my little woman.
just be my lover.
I need me somebody, somebody to treat me right.
i need your arms, loving arms to hold me tight.
I need your, i need your tender lips, to hold me,
to hold me together when i'm around you.
