A Nod to Bob

[Carol Chubiz]

Hometown boy. Good discussion topic for next coffee. Peace.

[Michael Ransom]

Peace to you, too! And I agree it's time for another coffee.

In high school one of the first songs I played and sang with my guitar was "Don't think twice, it's alright..." His music was such a wonderful contrast to my other favorites, the Beatles and Beach Boys. Here are the lyrics:

It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe

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-traveling on

But don't think twice, it's all right

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

But I wish there was somethin' you would do or say

To try and make me change my mind and stay

But 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 anymore

I'm a-thinking and a-wonderin' walking 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

So long honey, babe

Where I'm bound, I can't tell

Goodbye's too good a word, babe

So I'll just say, "Fare thee well"

I ain't a-saying you treated me unkind

You could've done better but I don't mind

You just kinda wasted my precious time

But don't think twice, it's all right

Thanks for reading/commenting. Ever notice how "lean" song lyrics are? Bob's and others. So few adverbs and adjectives. Lots of good verbs and nouns. No bad boys Rolling Stones for you? Take care!

[Juliet Batten]

So interesting, thank you.

Dylan continues to intrigue me. Thanks for taking time to read & comment.
