Straight No Chaser - (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay / Proud Mary

Текст песни

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
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia
I’m headed for the Frisco Bay
I’ve had nothing to live for
Like nothing’s gonna come my way
I’m just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Looks like nothing’s gonna change
Everything remains the same
I can’t do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I’ll remain the same
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the Man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of a city
'Til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin'
