Don’t call my name out your window, I’m leavin' I won’t even turn my head Don’t send your kinfolk to give me no talkin' I’ll be gone, like I said
You’d just say the same old things That you be sayin'all along Just lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shut Till I’m gone Don’t give me that old familiar cry and fuss and moan
Understand your man I'm tired of your bad mouthing Understand your man
Now, you can give my other suit to the Salvation Army And everything else I leave behind I ain't taking nothing that'll slow down my traveling While I'm untangling my mind I ain't gonna repeat what I said anymore While I'm breathing air that ain't been breathed before I'll be as gone as the wild gruesome winter Then you'll understand your man Meditate on it You hear me talking now Understand your man Remember what I told ya Understand your man
