Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, baby

If you don't know by now

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

It will never do anyhow When your rooster's a crowing at the break of dawn

Look out your window and I'll be gone

You're the reason why I'm traveling on

But don't think twice, it's all right An' it ain't no use in turning on your light, baby

The light I never knowed

An' it ain't no use in turning on your light, baby

I'm on the dark side of the road But I wish there was something I could do or say

To try and make you change your mind and stay

We never did too much talking anyway

But don't think twice, it's all right Well, it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal

Like you never done before

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

I can't hear you anymore I'm a thinking and a wondering, walking down the road

I once loved a woman, a child I'm told

I give her my heart but she wanted my soul

But don't think twice, it's all right So long, honey, baby

Where I'm bound, I cannot tell

But goodbye's too good a word, gal

So I'll just kinda say, "Fare thee well" Now I'm not saying that you treated me unkind

You could have done a lot better but I don't mind

You just kinda wasted my precious time

But don't think twice, it's all right
