It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter anyhow
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
And you're the reason I'm travellin' on
And don't think twice, it's alright

It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
I'm wishin' there were something you could 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 alright

It ain't no use in callin' out my name, child
Like you never done before
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, child
I can't hear you anymore
I'm ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just sorta wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's alright
I'm walkin' down that long lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye is too good a word, child
So I'll just say, fare thee well
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wonderin' all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
And I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul
And don't think twice, it's alright
