Dock of the Bay
(ACME 169) Vernon Jones
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK
Grand Square
*I'm sittin' in the mornin' sun
*I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
*Watchin' the ships roll in
*Then I watch 'em roll away again
Allemande and Weave
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide, roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time
FIGURE
Heads (Sides) Promenade Halfway
Pass the Ocean, Extend
Swing Thru, Spin the Top
Right and Left Thru
Flutterwheel, Sweep 1/4
Swing and Promenade
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time
CLOSER
Grand Square
Looks like nothin's gonna change
Everything seems to stay the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same
Circle Left
I'm sittin' here restin' my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
Men Star Right
Left Allemande and Weave the Ring
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide, roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time
TAG
Four Ladies Chain across and back
ADDITIONAL LYRICS
*I left my home in Georgia
*And headed for the Frisco Bay
*'Cause I've got nothin' to live for
*Looks like nothin's gonna come my way
