Lyrics:

There ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe If you don't know by now There 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 Well look out your window baby I'll be gone You're the reason I'm movin' on Yeh, don't think twice it's all right I've headed down that long lonesome road, girl Where I'm bound I can't tell Goodbye is too good a word girl So I'll say Fare thee well I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind You could have done better but I, I don't mind You just kinda wasted my precious time Oo, Don't think twice it's all right Take it on When the rooster crows at the break of dawn Well look out your window baby I'll be gone You're the reason I'm movin' on Yeh don't think twice it's all right There ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe It don't matter anyhow There 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 Well look out your window baby I'll be gone You're the reason I'm travellin' on Oh don't think twice it's all right I'm headed down that long lonesome road, babe Where I'm bound I can't tell Goodbye is too good a word girl I'll just say Fare thee well I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind You could have done better but I, I don't mind You just sorta wasted my favourite time Oo, Don't think twice it's all right Wow When the rooster crows at the break of dawn Well look out your window baby I'll be gone You're the reason I'm travellin' on Oh don't think twice it's all right I've headed down that long lonesome road, girl Where I'm bound I can't tell Goodbye is too good a word girl 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 Yeh, you're the reason I'm travellin' on Oh don't think twice it's all right Take it on Where I'm bound I can't tell Goodbye is too good a word girl So I'll say Fare thee well

More info:

Bob Dylan wrote and recorded Don't Think Twice It's All Right in 1963 for his LP The Free Wheelin' Bob Dylan (Columbia CL-1986). Later in 1963 the song served as the flip side to his single Blowin' In The Wind (Columbia 42856). Don't Think Twice It's All Right was based on the traditional folk tune Who'll Buy Your Chickens When I'm Gone. Peter, Paul and Mary had a #9 hit with their recording of the song (Warner Bros. 5385) in late 1963. Three years later, the Wonder Who (actually the Four Seasons) reached #12 with their version (Phillips 40324). Elvis's version of Don't Think Twice It's All Right was the result of a 15-minute jam session at RCA's Nashville studios on May 16, 1971. An edited version (2 minutes, 45 seconds) appeared on the LP Elvis. Two other, longer versions have appeared on record, but the entire 15 minutes have not yet been released.
