OTIS REDDING - (SITTIN' ON) THE DOCK OF THE BAY
(O. Redding; S. Cropper)
Atlantic 70.254


Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
And I watch 'em roll away again

Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I had nothin to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way

So I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

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

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

Now, I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

see how popular you are Rio??? lol xxx

omg - this is crazy, I can still post... lol.

I guess my time is up at midnight then ...

oooh infamy infamy ..they've all got it 'In for me'. lol

Regards
Rio

Good Luck again Rio :))

Sailing

I am sailing
I am sailing
home again 'cross the sea.
I am sailing stormy waters
to be near you to be free.
I am flying
I am flying like a bird 'cross the sky
I am flying passing high clouds to be with you to be free.
Can you hear me
can you hear me thro' the dark night far away.
I am dying forever trying to be with you who can say.
Can you hear me
can you hear me thro' the dark night far away.
I am dying forever trying to be with you who can say.
We are sailing
we are sailing home again 'cross the sea.
VVe are sailing stormy waters to be near you to be free.
Oh Lord to be near you to be free
Oh Lord to be near you to be free . . .

Bye Rio, sorry to see you go, wish you all the best and take care..

We're All Bound To Go

Information Lyrics

This shanty dates from the Irish emigration of the 1840s and 1850s. It is also known as Heave Away, Me Johnnies. There are many variations to the lyrics. Hugill has two melodies and three sets of lyrics. The lyrics and information here are from Frank Shay's American Sea Songs and Chanteys, the music is from 50 Sailors' Songs or Chanteys.
Mr. Tapscott was William Tapscott, a Liverpool emigrant agent. The Henry Clay was a famous packet of the Swallowtail Line. In 1846 The Henry Clay was wrecked off the New Jersey coast. Several people died, but the ship was salvaged and rebuilt. On September 4, 1849 she burned at her pier. The hulk was then sold to the Collins Dramatic Line and rebuilt. She resumed Liverpool service and at the end of the Civil War was a freight packet.

Frank Shay says this is a capstan shanty, but Stan Hugill gives it as a brake-windlass shanty.

As I was walked down the Landing Stage,
All on a Summer's morn,,
Heave away, my Johnny, Heave Away.
It's there I spied an Irish girl,
A-looking all forlorn.
And away my Johnnie boys,
We're all bound to go.

Oh, good morning, Mr. Tapscott,
Good morning, my girl, says he,
Heave away, my Johnny, Heave Away.
Have you got a packet ship,
To carry me across the sea?
And away my Johnnie boys,
We're all bound to go.

Oh yes, I have a clipper ship,
She's called the Henry Clay,
Heave away, my Johnny, Heave Away.
She sails today for Boston Bay,
She sails away at break of day.
And away my Johnnie boys,
We're all bound to go.

Oh will you take me to Boston Bay,
When she sails away at break of day?
Heave away, my Johnny, Heave Away.
I want to marry a Yankee boy,
And I'll cross the sea no more.
And away my Johnnie boys,
We're all bound to go.
