Lyrics:

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-travellin' 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 something 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 am 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.
And 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 kind of wasted my precious time.
But don't think twice, it's all right.
