It ainβt no use to sit and wonder why, babe.
If you donβt know by now.
And it ainβt no use to sit and wonder why, babe.
Itβll never do somehow.
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn,
look out your window and Iβll be gone.
Youβre the reason Iβm travelinβ on,
but donβt think twice, itβs all right.
It ainβt no use in turninβ on your light, babe.
The light I never knowed.
And it ainβt no use in turninβ on your light, babe.
Iβm 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.
We never did too much talkinβ anyway,
so donβt think twice, itβs all right.
So it ainβt no use in callinβ out my name, gal.
Like youβve never done before.
And it ainβt no use in callinβ out my name, gal.
I canβt hear you anymore.
Iβm a-thinkinβ and a-wondβrinβ
walkinβ down the road.
I once loved a woman, a child, Iβm told.
Iβd give her my heart but she wanted my soul,
but donβt think twice, itβs all right.
So loo-oong, honey babe.
Where Iβm bound, I canβt tell.
But βgoodbyeβ is too good a word, babe,
so Iβll just say βFare Thee Wellβ.
I ainβt a-saying you treated me unkind.
You could have done better, but I donβt mind.
You just kinda wasted my precious time,
but donβt think twice, itβs all right.
