Don't Think Twice, It's Alright

The JSD Band version of this song provided our inspiration - alas, we have no glockenspiel in our arrangement.

Ain't no use you sitting wondering why babe
If you don't know by now
Ain't no use you sitting wondering why babe
It don't matter anyhow
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm travelling on
Don't think twice, it's alright

Ain't no use you calling out my name babe
Like you never done before
Ain't no use you calling out my name babe
I can't hear it any more
Still I wish that there was something you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway
Don't think twice, it's alright

Ain't no use you turning on your light babe
That light I never known
Ain't no use you turning on your light babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
Well I'm thinking as I'm wandering while I'm going down this road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
Gave her my heart but she wanted my soul
Don't think twice, it's alright

I'm going down that long lonesome road babe
Where I'm bound I can't tell
Goodbye is too good a word babe
So I'll say fare thee well
Now I ain't saying that you treated me unkind
You could've loved me better but I don't mind
You kinda wasted my precious time
Don't think twice, it's alright
Don't think twice, it's alright
