[Verse 1]
Well, it ain't no use sit and wonder why
It don't matter anyhow
No, it ain't no use sit and wonder why, babe
Daddy, if'n you don't know by now
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
You just look out your window, and your sweet little mama will be gone
Boy, you are the reason had to travel on
But you don't you think twice, it's all right
[Verse 2]
And it ain't no use callin' out my name, babe
Like you never done before
Lord, ain't no use callin' out my name
I can't hear you anymore
Ain't a-sayin' that you treated me unkind
Could have done better, but I don't mind
All that I know is you wasted nothin' but my precious time
But you don't you think twice, it's all right
[Verse 3]
I'm walkin' down the long, long, long, lonely road
Where I'm bound, I just can't tell
Whoa, but goodbye is too good a word
I wanna say fare thee well
I'm a-sittin' and I'm thinkin' all the way, all the way down the road
I once loved me a man, he was a child, he was a child I'm told
Gave him my heart but he wanted nothin', nothin' but my soul
And you don't, you think twice, it's all right

[Verse 3]
Well, I'm a-walkin' down that long, long, long, lonely road
Where I'm bound, I just can't tell
Ah, but goodbye is too good a word
I wanna say, wanna say-ay-ay, wanna say is fare thee well
Ain't a-sayin' that you treated me unkind
You could have done better, but I do not, I'd mind
All that I know is you wasted nothing but my precious time
But you don't you think twice, it's all right
[Outro]
Well, I say don't you think twice, it's all right
Well, it ain't no use sit and wonder why
It don't matter anyhow
No, it ain't no use sit and wonder why, babe
Daddy, if'n you don't know by now
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
You just look out your window, and your sweet little mama will be gone

Could have done better, but I don't mind
All that I know is you wasted nothin' but my precious time
