![8dzt9bkv6n.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/8dzt9bkv6n.jpg) The lyrics to the song “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” were written over time by Otis Redding, and added to by his collaborator, Steve Cropper. The words muse upon the life that brought Redding to the shores of San Francisco after growing up in Georgia. The first lines were written while on that very shore and watching the activity on the water. My Own Lyrics Challenge is going through the years to spotlight cool songs and this post is for 1968. “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” was a Number 1 hit upon release, and Billboard ranked the record as the No. 4 song of the year. It has gone on to be covered by many others over the years since then. One of Redding’s most famous songs, “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” was recorded days before he and most of his band were killed in a plane crash in 1967. The song was released in 1968, and won awards, including two Grammy's. It is the first posthumous single to top the charts in the US. These is no video for this song as it was released posthumously. This version released by the record label shows some footage and photos of other moments in the life of Otis Redding. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rTVjnBo96Ug" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> And here is the only other version of the song by Otis Redding – the first take. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3VPywcHWluc" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> [(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay Lyrics - Otis Redding & Steve Cropper](https://genius.com/Otis-redding-sittin-on-the-dock-of-the-bay-lyrics) [Verse 1] Sittin' in the mornin' sun I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come Watching the ships roll in And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah [Chorus] I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] Look 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, yes [Verse 3] Sittin' here resting my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone It's two thousand miles I roamed Just to make this dock my home [Chorus] Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time [Outro] *Whistling* _______________ Join me on Steem Monsters using my affiliate link! https://steemmonsters.com?ref=bxlphabet Join me in drug wars using my referral link! https://staging.drugwars.io/#!/ref/@bxlphabet
