It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe,
If you don't know by now.
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, baby;
It just don't matter anyhow.
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn,
Look out of your windown, I'll be gone.
You're the reason that I'm travelling on;
Don't think twice, it's alright.
It ain't no use you calling out my name, girl,
Like you never done before.
It ain't no use you calling out my name, girl;
I just can't hear you any more.
I wish there was something that you might do or say,
To make me change my mind and stay.
We never did too much talking anyway;
Don't think twice, it's alright.
It ain't no use you turning on your light, babe,
The light that I never knowed.
It ain't no use you turning on your light, baby;
'Cause I'm on the dark side of the road.
Well, I'm not saying that you treated me unkind.
You could have done better, I just don't mind.
You just kind of wasted my precious time;
Don't think twice, it's alright.
I'm walking down my long lonesome road, babe,
- Where I'm bound I can't tell.
'Goodbye' is too good a word, baby,
So I'll just say 'Fare thee well'.
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;
Don't think twice;
Don't think twice;
Don't think twice, it's alright.
