also recorded by many other artists,
including elvis and the grateful dead
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
so don't think twice, it's all right
so it ain't no use in callin' out my name, babe
like you never did before
and it ain't no use in callin' out my name, babe
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 him my heart but he wanted my soul
so don't think twice, it's all right
so long, lonesome road, babe
where i'm bound, i can't tell
goodbye's too good a word, babe
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
don't think twice it's all right
