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 roosters crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm travelin' on don't think twice it's all right

It ain't no use in turnin' on your light babe at last I'll never know
It ain't no use in turnin' on your light babe I'm on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was something I would do or say
To try and make it change my mind and stay
We never do too much talking anyway don't think twice it's all right

[ banjo - harmonica ]
I'm walkin' down that long lonesome road babe where I'm bound for I can't tell
But goodbye is too good a word gal 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 sorta wasted my precious time don't think twice it's all right

It ain't no use in callin' out my name gal like you never done before
It ain't no use in callin' out my name gal I can't hear you anymore
I'm thinkin' and a wonderin' all the way down the road
I've 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
