It ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe
If you don't know by now,
Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why
It doesn't matter anyhow.
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn,
Look out your window, and I'll be gone.
You're the reason I'm a-travelling on.
But don't think twice it's all right.
And it ain't no use in turning on your light babe
The light I never knowed.
And it ain't no use in turning 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 to make me change my mind and stay.
We never did too much talking anyway,
So don't think twice, it's all right.
So it ain't no use in calling out my name gal,
Like you've never done before,
And it ain't no use in calling out my name gal
I can't hear it any more.
I'm thinking and I'm wondering all the way down the road,
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told,
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul,
But don't think twice, it's all right.
I'm walking down this long lonesome road babe
Where I'm bound I can't tell
Goodbye's too good a word, babe,
So I just say fare thee well.
I ain't saying that you treated me unkind
You could have done better, but I don't mind,
You just kind of wasted my previous time,
But don't think twice, it's all right.
