Don´t call my name out your window, I´m leaving I won´t even turn my head Don´t send your kinfolk to give me no talking I´ll be gone, like I said You´d just say the same old things
That you be saying 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 going to repeat what i said anymore While I´m breathing air that ain´t been breathed before
I´ll be as gone to as a wild goose in 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
