▹Freewheelin' session 6, Columbia Studio A, NYC - 14.nov.1962 Well it ain't no use to sit an' wonder why babe If you don't know by now An' it ain't no use to sit an' wonder why babe It will never do somehow When your rooster crows at the break of dawn Look out your window an' i'll be gone You're the reason i'm a-travellin' on But don't think twice, it's all right. An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light babe That light i never knowed An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light babe I'm on the dark side of the road But i wish there was something you would do or say To try an' make me change my mind an' stay But we never did too much talkin' anyway But don't think twice, it's all right. So it ain't no use in callin' out my name gal Like you never done before An' it ain't no use in callin' out my name gal I can't hear you anymore I'm a thinkin' an' a wonderin', walkin' down the road I once loved a woman, a child i'm told I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul But don't think twice, it's all right. So long honey 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 coulda done better but i don't mind You just kinda wasted my precious time But don't think twice, it's all right. |
