Watching the tide (tide roll away) Ooh, Lord, sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time, time. I left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco Bay I have nothing to live for Seems like nothing's Gonna come my way. Let me hear you say (I'm sitting on the dock of the bay) Watching the tide (tide roll away) Ooh, Lord, sitting on the dock of the bay And I'm just wasting time. Look like nothing's gonna change Everything remains the same I can't do what ten people Wants me to do now So I guess I'll remain the same.

It was never supposed to be like this: "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" was supposed to mark the beginning of a new phase in Otis Redding's career, not an ending. Producer/guitarist Steve Cropper had a difficult task to perform in pulling together this album, the first of several posthumous releases issued by Stax/Volt in the wake of Redding's death. What could have been a cash-in effort or a grim memorial album instead became a vivid, exciting presentation of some key aspects of the talent that was lost when Redding died

If there were no alternate means of acquiring that song, that understated piece of sublime pie, then the simple mention of The Dock of the Bay on any list of greatest albums would be more than warranted. But we live in an otherwise world. So like I said, none of the other material on the album sounds anything like that. The rest is typical Memphis soul, and by typical I mean exceptionally great (because Redding always was an exceptional artist. It’s ostensibly new Redding material, in that most of it hadn’t been released. Which is really like saying a Best Of album from an artist you’ve never heard is new material because, hey, you ain’t done heard it sucka. In reality, all it does is draw a line between track number one, (Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay, and every other track.

I left my home in Georgia Headed for the 'Frisco bay Cause I've had nothing to live for And look like nothin's gonna come my way. So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time.
