Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe.
uhmm, uhmm...
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe,
if you don't know by now.
When the rooster craws at the break of dawn,
look out your window I'll be traveling on.
You're the reason I'll be gone,
but don't think twice, it's alright.
Well it ain't no use in calling out my name, girl,
[like you] done before.
And it ain't no use in calling out my name, girl,
I can't hear you anymore.
I wish there was something you would do or say
trying to make me change my mind and stay.
We never did too much talking anyway.
But don't think twice, it's alright.
Well it ain't no use in turning on your lights babe,
the lights I never knowed.
And it ain't no use in burning your lamp babe,
I'm on the dark side of the road.
There is lonesome traveling down a lonesome road.
I once loved a woman, a child I am told.
I gave her my heart, but she wanted my soul,
but don't think twice, it's alright.
So I'm rambling all by myself babe,
this time [...]
And I can't [...]
with you [...]
I ain't saying you treated me unkind,
you could have done better, but I don't mind,
ah you're just wasting my precious time,
but don't think twice, cause it's alright.
