Well 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 a travellin' on,
But don't think twice, it's all right.
(harmonica inderlude)
An' 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 n' make me change my mind and stay.
But we never did too much talkin' anyway,
But don't think twice, it's all right.
(harmonica inderlude)
So it ain't no use in callin' out my name, girl,
Like you never done before.
An' it ain't no use in callin' out my name, girl,
I can't hear anymore.
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wonderin' walkin' down the road,
I once loved a woman - a child I am told.
I give her my heart, but she wanted my soul,
Don't think twice, it's all right.
(harmonica inderlude)
So lo-ong honey babe,
where I'm bound, I can't tell.
Goodbye is too good a word babe,
So I'll just say, "Fare thee well"
I ain't 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.
