    Oh wow!

    I always assumed it was connected to the word “by” as used in “by and by”, so that it would basically mean “have a good afterwards”.

    Cool stuff. Bob Dylan makes more sense to me now:

    And goodbye is too good a word babe
    So I’ll just say fare thee well

      I ain’t sayin you did 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 alright.
