Dock of The Bay (ESP 1143) Elmer Sheffield/Bob Elling

OPENER

Circle Left
Sittin’ in the morning sun,
I’ll be sittin’ when the evening comes.
Men Star right and roll it around
Allemande the corner and Weave around, now
Watchin’ the ships roll in,
meet and Promenade her again
Sittin’ on the dock of the bay, wastin’ time.

FIGURE

Here’s where the heads [sides] Square Thru and go four
You do a Do Sa Do, you know
You Touch ¼ and the girl Run right
Girl Reverse Flutter and go
Sweep ¼ more, Swing and Promenade that floor
Sittin’ on the dock of the bay, wastin’ time.

MIDDLE BREAK

Circle Left
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
Men Star right and roll it around
Allemande the corner and Weave around, now
Sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Do Sa Do and Promenade
Sittin’ on the dock of the bay, wastin’ time.

CLOSER

Circle Left
Sittin’ here resting my bones
And this loneliness won’t leave me alone
Men Star right and roll it around
Allemande the corner and Weave around, now
It’s 2000 miles I roamed
Meet your girl, Promenade her on home
Sittin’ on the dock of the bay, wastin’ time.
I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay, wastin’ time.
