Don't Think Twice, It's All Right - Odetta

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

Even you don't know by now

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

It'll never do somehow

When your rooster crows at the break of dawn

Look out your window, and I'll be gone

You're the reason I'm a-traveling on

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

And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe

The light I never know'd

And it ain't no use in turning 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 and make me change my mind and stay

But we never did too much talking anyway

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

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

Like you never done before

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

I can't hear you any more

I'm a-thinking and a-wonderin' walking down the 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 all right.

So long honey, baby

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 a-saying you treated me unkind

You could have done better but I don't mind

You just kinda wasted my precious time

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