Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe If'n you don't know by now And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe It'll never do somehow When your rooster crows at the break of dawn Look out your window, and, I'll be gone You're the reason I'm a-travellin' on But don't think twice, it's all right And it ain't no use in a-turnin' on your light, babe The light I never knowed And it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe I'm on the dark side of the road But I wish there was something you would do or say To try and make me change my mind and stay; But we never did too much talkin' anyway But don't think twice, it's all right So it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal Like you never done before And it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal I can't hear you anymore I'm a-thinkin' and a-wonderin', walkin' down the road I once loved a woman, a child I am told I give her my heart, but she wanted my soul But don't think twice, it's all right So long, honey babe. Where I'm bound, I can't tell And goodbye's too good a word, babe So I'll just say, "Fare thee well." I ain't a-sayin' you treated me unkind You could've done better, but, I don't mind You just kind of wasted my precious time But don't think twice, it's all right
