Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe 
 If 'n' 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 
 You're the reason I'm a-travelin' on 
 But don't think twice, it's all right 
    And it ain't no use in a-turnin' on your light, babe 
 The light I never knowed 
 And 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 
 But we never did too much talkin' anyway 
 But don't think twice, it's all right   
 So it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal 
 Like you never done 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-wonderin', walkin' down the road 
 I once loved a woman, a child, I'm told 
 I give her my heart but she wanted my soul 
 But 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 ain't a-sayin' you treated me unkind 
 You could've done better, but I don't mind 
 You just kinda wasted my precious time 
 But don't think twice, it's all right
