Dock Of The Bay Otis Redding 1967 | (ESP 1143) Bob Elling, Elmer Sheffield, Jr. |
OPENER Mainstream
Circle
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 Mainstream, corner progression
Here's where the heads (sides) square thru and go four
You do a dosado, you know
You touch 1/4 and the girl run right
Girl reverse flutter and go
Sweep 1/4 more, swing and promenade that floor
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time
MIDDLE BREAK Mainstream
Circle
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
Dosado and promenade
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time
CLOSER Mainstream
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
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time
