[00:48.30]It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
[00:52.56]It don't matter, anyhow
[00:55.71]And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
[01:00.18]If you don't know by now
[01:03.06]When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
[01:07.11]Look out your window and I'll be gone
[01:10.92]You're the reason I'm traveling on
[01:24.24]It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
[01:27.78]That light I never knowed
[01:31.68]And it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
[01:35.91]I'm on the dark side of the road
[01:39.00]Still I wish there was something you would do or say
[01:42.93]To try and make me change my mind and stay
[01:46.62]We never did too much talkin' anyway
[01:59.61]So it ain't no use in callin' out my name, babe
[02:03.99]Like you never did before
[02:07.20]And it ain't no use in callin' out my name, babe
[02:11.61]I can't hear you any more
[02:14.70]I'm a thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road
[02:18.45]I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
[02:22.17]I gave him my heart but he wanted my soul
[03:05.46]So long, lonesome road, babe
[03:07.92]Where I'm bound, I can't tell
[03:12.27]Goodbye's too good a word, babe
[03:16.26]So I'll just say, fare thee well
[03:20.04]I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
[03:23.40]You could have done better but I don't mind
[03:27.36]You just kinda wasted my precious time
[03:31.11]Don't think twice it's all right
