"Dock of the Bay" is one of a long list of popular 60s folk songs (and some earlier, perhaps) I first heard of on a CD I have of Vietnam filk, taken from recordings distributed in theatre by Army & Air Force semi-offical bands. It's very interesting, and remarkably different, I'd say, from what a lot of people think of. This one in particular is done as "Sitting in the cab of my truck", a Ho Chi Minh trail truckdriver describing the war from his point of view (there are several of these). Very interesting, and quite sympathetic.
