Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe

Even if 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

But you're the reason I'm a traveling on

So don't think twice, it's all right

Well, it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe

That light I never knowed

Well, it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe

I'm on the dark side of the road

So I wish there was somethin' you would do or say

To try and make me change my mind and stay

But you're not listening to me, anyway

So don't think twice, it's all right

Well, it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal

Like you never done before

Well, it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal

I can't hear you any more

I ain't saying you treated me unkind

You could've done better but I don't mind

You just kind of wasted my prescious time

So don't think twice, it's all right

So long honey, babe

Where I'm bound, I can't tell

Goodbye's too good a word, babe

So I'll just say fare thee well

I'm a-sitting and a-wond'rin' walking down the road

I once loved a woman, a child I'm told

I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul

So don't think twice, it's all right
