Sittin in the morning sun, I`ll be sittin' when the evening come, Watching the ships roll in, And I'll watch 'em roll away again, yeah, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, Watching the tide roll away, ouh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay, Wasting time. I left my home in Georgia, Headed for the Frisco bay I have nothing to live for, Look like nothings gonna come my way, So I'm just go sit on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, Wasting time Look like nothings gonna change, Everything still remain the same, I can't do what ten people tell me to do, So I guess I'll remain the same, yes, Sittin' here resting my bones, And this loneliness won't leave me alone, yes, Two thousand miles I roam Just to make this dock my home Now I'm just go sit at the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away, ooh Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wasting time |

Chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools Five long years I thought you were my man But I found out I'm just a link in your chain You got me where you want me I ain't nothing but your fool You treated me mean oh you treated me cruel Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools Every chain has got a weak link I might be weak child, but I'll give you strength You told me to leave you alone My father said come on home My doctor said take it easy Whole bunch of lovin is much too strong I'm added to your chain, chain, chain Chain, chain, chain, chain, Chain, chain of fools One of these mornings the chain is gonna break But up until then, yeah, I'm gonna take all I can take Chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools |

Drop your silver in my tambourine. Help a poor man fill his pretty dream Give me pennies, I'll take anything Now listen while I play my green tambourine. Watch the jingle jangle start start to chime Reflections of the music that is mine When you drop a coin you'll hear it sing Now listen while I play my green tambourine. Musical Break Drop a dime before I walk away Any song you want I'll gladly play Money feed my music machine Now listen while I play my green tambourine. |

When I think about the good love you gave me,
I cry like a baby. Living without you is driving me crazy, I cry like a baby. Well, I know now that you're not a play thing, Not a toy, or a puppet on a string. As I look back on a love so sweet now, I cry like a baby. Every road is a lonely street, I cry like a baby. I know now that you're not a play thing, Not a toy, or a puppet on a string. Today we passed on a street, And you just walked on by. My heart just fell to my feet, And once again I began to cry. When I think about the good love you gave me, I cry like a baby. Living without you is driving me crazy, I cry like a baby. I know now that you're not a play thing, I cry like a baby. As I look back on a love so sweet now, I cry like a baby. Every road is a lonely street, I cry like a baby. My heart just fell to my feet, you know I cried like a baby. You left the water running now, I cried like a baby. |
