It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe If'n you don't know by now
An' 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 trav'lin' on Don't think twice, it's all right
And it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe That light I never knowed
An' 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 somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway Don't think twice, it's all right
No, it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal Like you never did 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-wond'rin' walkin' 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, it's all right
So loooooong, honey babe Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word, babe So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time But don't think twice, it's all right
