Lyrics:

Written and recorded by Bob Dylan



It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe

It don't matter, anyhow

And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe

If you don't know by now

When your rooster crows at the break of dawn

Look out your window and I'll be gone

You're the reason I'm traveling on

Don't think twice, it's all right



It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe

That 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

Still I wish there was something 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



It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal

Like you never did before

It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal

I can't hear you any more

I'm a thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way 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



I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe

Where I'm bound, I can't tell

But goodbye's 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 kinda wasted my precious time

Don't think twice it's all right
