Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe,
If'n you don't know by now
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It'll never do, somehow

When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm travelin' on,
but don't think twice, it's alright

Ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe,
That light I never knowed
Ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe,
I'm on the dark side of the road

Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say,
To try & make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway,
So 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 anymore

I'm sittin & 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 alright

So long 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 coulda done better but, I don't mind
You just kind of wasted my precious time
but don't think twice, it's alright
