(Why babe, why babe)
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
(Why babe, why babe?)
It don't matter, anyhow
Oh, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
(Why babe, why babe?)
If you don't know by now
When the rooster crows, at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
(You're the reason, that I'm travelin' on)
Don't think twice, it's all right
Ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
(Why babe, why babe?)
The light I never knowed
Ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
(Why babe, why babe?)
I'm on the dark side of the road
And I wish there was somethin' you would do
To try to make me change my mind and stay
(We never did too much talkin', anyway)
I don't think twice, it's all right
I'm walkin' down the long and lonesome road, babe
(Road, babe)
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
(Can't tell)
But goodbye's too good a word to say, girl
(Why babe, why babe?)
So I'll just say, fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better, but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
Don't think twice, it's all right
(Why babe, why babe?)
(Why babe, why babe?)
When the rooster crows
At the break of dawn
(Why babe, why babe?)
Look out your window
Baby, I'll be gone, gone, gone
