( Rlongman ( talk) 02:16, 17 February 2009 (UTC)) Funny, I heard on a US radio station that he intended to finish with another verse, recording the whistling in its place and passing in the plane crash before he could get back to it. Right now, the article mostly shows who wasn't (the Staples). These folks are likely among the best of the soul craft. In any event, there were other people than Cropper and Redding on that record, and it should be fully listed as to who they were (Oldham? Bar-Kays? Booker T?). I thought the end was still being worked over by Cropper (that's what the Staples were for). Does anyone have a source for this? JulesH 21:30, 13 September 2006 (UTC) I was just going to ask, who did the whistling. I recall reading in a UK magazine (Mojo?) that Redding learned to whistle for the whistled riff on the record he wasn't able to before.

The article has mentions of both, and both items are plausible: both sit on the water, but a boathouse tends-depending on its design-to be more or less fixed to the shore, whereas a houseboat is a little more mobile. There is a video on youtube and Steve Cropper says it was Bill Graham's boat. I know what a dock is, and I know what a bay is, but what is "the dock of the bay"? Is it just a pier sticking out into a bay or what? - Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.225.26.33 ( talk) 07:24, 4 February 2020 (UTC) Houseboat ĭoes anyone know WHICH houseboat in Sausalito was the one that Otis Redding wrote "Dock on the Bay" on? Or how I would find out? Thanks. This article has been rated as C-Class on the quality scale.

Two thousand miles I've roamed, just to make this dock my home, yeah. I left my home in Georgia, headed for the 'Frisco Bay Sittin' here restin' my bones, this loneliness won't leave me alone, yeah. I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away Sittin on the dock of the bay wastin' time. Looks like nothing's ever gonna change, everything still remains the same I can't do what ten people want me to, so I guess I'll remain the same Oh, sittin' on a roll in my bones, this loneliness won't leave me alone Two thousand miles I've roamed, just to make this dock my home, yeah. Sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away Sittin on the dock of the bay wastin' time. I left my home in Georgia, headed for the 'Frisco Bay I've got nothin' to live for, looks like nothing's gonna come my way, yeah. Sittin' in the mornin' sun, I'll be sittin' till the evening's done Watchin' the ships roll in, then I watch 'em roll away again Sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time.
