It ain't no use in turnin' on you light, babe A light I never knowed It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe I'm on the dark side of the road Still I wish there were something you would do or say To try and make me change my mind and stay We never did too much talkin' anyway So don't think twice, it's alright.
I'm walkin' down that long lonesome road, babe Where I'm bound, I can't tell Goodbye is too good a word, gal So I'll just say, fare thee well. I'm not sayin' 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 alright.
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal Like you never done before It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal I can't hear you anymore I'm a-thinkin' and a-wonderin' all the way down the road I once loved a woman, a child I am told I'd give her my heart but she wanted my soul But don't think twice, it's alright.

:DON'T THINK TWICE, IT'S ALRIGHT by Bob Dylan
Uhh, I don't know how much of a purist you are, but those lyrics are sort of a combination of Peter, Paul and Mary's version and Dylan's. Here's the lyrics I have for Dylan's, straight off "The Freewheelin'"
- Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, baby If'n 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 travelling 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 knowed and it ain't no use in turning on your light babe I'm on the dark side of the road Well I wish 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 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 thinkin' and a wonderin', walkin' down the road I once loved a woman, a child I am told I give her my heart but she wanted my soul Don't think twice, it's all right
So long honey babe where I'm bound, I can't tell goodbye is too good a word babe so I'll just say fare the well I ain't a sayin' you treated me unkind you coulda done better but, I don't mind you just kinda wasted my precious time Don't think twice, it's all right
Don't Think Twice (by Bob Dylan)
INTRO:
VERSE 1:
Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe,
If'n you don't know by now.
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe.
It'll never do, some-how.
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm travelin' on,
but don't think twice, it's al-right.
VERSE 2: Ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe, That light I never knowed. Ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe, I'm on the dark side of the road.
Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say, To try & make me change my mind and stay. We never did too much talkin' anyway, So don't think twice, it's all right.
VERSE 3: It ain't no use in callin out my name, gal Like you never done before. It ain't no use in callin out my name, gal I can't hear anymore
I'm sittin & a wonderin, walkin down the road I once loved a woman - a child I am told I give her my heart, but she wanted my soul but don't think twice, it's alright.
VERSE 3: So lo-ong honey babe where I'm bound, I can't tell. Goodbye is 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 kind of wasted my precious time but don't think twice, it's alright.
Thanks to the original poster.

Don't Think Twice It's Alright ------------------------------ Bob Dylan
Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe
If you don't know by now
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe
It don't matter any how
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm travelling on
But don't think twice it's alright
And it ain't no use in turning on your light babe That light I never knowed And it ain't no use in turning on your light babe I'm on the dark side of the road 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 So don't think twice it's alright
And it ain't no use in calling out my name babe Like you never did before Ain't no use in calling out my name babe I can't hear you any more I'm thinking and a-wondering, walking 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 alright
I'm walking down that long lonesome road babe Where I'm bound I can't tell But goodbye is too good a word babe So I'll just say fare thee well I ain't saying you treated me unkind You could have doen better but I don't mind You just kinda wasted my precious time But don't think twice it's alright
