Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right

Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right

Kjente og kjære sanger finnes det mange av i Dylan sin katalog, for min del er dette en  av de. 

Basert på en melodi Dylan lærte av Paul Clayton. Dylan sin egenforklaring av teksten kan forklare hvorfor jeg liker den: «En uttalelse du kanskje kan si for å føle deg litt bedre - som om du snakker med deg selv.»
Den gangen vi alle hadde platespiller, kommer denne sangen etter snuing! Alltid spenning med b-siden.

Har vel alltid vært mest opptatt av slutten: 

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

Gitarspillet er jo også fasinerende her med midtpartiet og rytmeforflyttningen, helt nydelig gjort. Og det gjenspeiler vel den folkemusikktradisjonen melodien kommer ifra.

Personlig finner jeg her en halvsur og gretten kar, som har gått fra dama, eller motsatt - og håper egentlig at hun angrer....

Spotify: Don´t Think Twice, It´s all right

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

Iff you don't know by now

An' 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 trav'lin' on

Don't think twice, it's all right

An' 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 would do or say

To try and make me change my mind and stay

We never did too much talkin' anyway

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

So it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal

Like you never did before

An' it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal

I can't hear you any more

I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' walkin' 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 / I´m walking down that long and 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 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
