~Favorite Breakup Song~

Don't Think Twice, It's Alright - Bob Dylan

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

If 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

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

And 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

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

I can't hear you anymore

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
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 sayin' you treated me unkind
You coulda done better but I don't mind

You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right

Hit the road Jack!

Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more. (What you say?)
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.

Oh! Woman, oh woman, don't treat me so mean,
You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen.

I guess if you said so
I'd have to pack my things and go. (That's right)

Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.

Now baby, listen baby, don't-a treat me this-a way
Cause I'll be back on my feet some day.

Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood

You ain't got no money you just ain't no good.

Well, I guess if you say so
I have to pack my things and go. (That's right)

Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.

Don't you come back no more.
(What you say)

Don't you come back no more
(Come on baby)
Don't you come back no more

Amarillo by morning George Strait

Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone.
Everything that I've got is just what I've got on.
When that sun is high in that Texas sky

I'll be bucking it to county fair.
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo I'll be there.

They took my saddle in Houston, broke my leg in Santa Fe.
Lost my wife and a girlfriend somewhere along the way.
Well I'll be looking for eight when they pull that gate,
And I'm hoping that judge ain't blind.
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's on my mind.

Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone.

Everything that I've got is just what I've got on.
I ain't got a dime, but what I got is mine.
I ain't rich, but Lord I'm free.
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's where I'll be.
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's where I'll be.

Got along without you before I met you, Gonna get along without you now.

Can't remember who sang it, but it was popular in summer of 1952. I was in ROTC summer camp in Valdosta, GA. Hot as the hinges of Hell. We'd come in from marching or whatever, head straight for the shower, strip off our fatigues, and shower, while singing that song. Crazy? Probably, but I still can't take a shower without thinking of that song.

Joe, I'm new on this thread but thought I'd jump in and see if one of these two recordings I found on YouTube were what you remember.

Teresa Brewer was the first artist to record "Gonna Get Along Without You Now" in 1952.

Then Patience and Prudence enjoyed even more success with the song when they recorded it in 1956. In 1957 it hit the #11 position on the charts.

[JoeFromSidney]

Thanks for the link. It had to be Theresa Brewer, because the year was 1952. I actually liked Skeeter Davis's cover of it better, but that's a matter of taste. Again, thanks for the link.

[bd476]

You are very welcome, Joe.

Skeeter Davis was a great singer!

Here's a classic video of her singing her 1963 hit song on
The Bobby Lord Show August 2, 1965.
