DON'T THINK TWICE, IT'S ALL RIGHT
Words and Music by Bob Dylan
Peaked at number 8 for The Wonder Who
on 77 WABC, New York weekly surveys in 1965
The Wonder Who did not record the 4th verse.
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder 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 I'm travelin' on
Don't think twice, it's all right
It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
An' it 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 could 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 all right
I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
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
But don't think twice, it's all right
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 any more
Still, I'm thinkin' and wonderin' all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right
* In the Peter, Paul & Mary version, Paul sings that he was "on the bright side of the road."
