[Verse 1]
Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, baby
If you don't know by now
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, baby
It will never do anyhow
[Chorus 1]
When your rooster's a crowing at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason why I'm traveling on
But don't think twice, it's all right
[Verse 2]
An' it ain't no use in turning on your light, baby
The light I never knowed
An' it ain't no use in turning on your light, baby
I'm on the dark side of the road
[Chorus 2]
But I wish there was something I could do or say
To try and make you change your mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway
But don't think twice, it's all right
[Verse 3]
Well, it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
Like you never done before
It ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
I can't hear you anymore
[Chorus 3]
I'm a thinking and a wondering, walking down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right
[Outro]
So long, honey, baby
Where I'm bound, I cannot tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
So I'll just kinda say, "Fare thee well"
Now I'm not saying that you treated me unkind
You could have done a lot better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right
