Don뭪 call my name out your window, I뭢 leavin?--
I won뭪 even turn my head.
Don뭪 sent your kinfolk to give me no talkin?--
I뭠l be gone, like I said.
You뭗 just say the same old things
That you be sayin?all along,
Just lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shut,
Till I뭢 gone.
Don뭪 give me that old familiar cry and fuss and moan --
Understand your man.
Now, you can give my other suit to the Salvation Army,
And everything else I leave behind --
I ain뭪 takin?nothin?that뭠l slow down my travelin?
While I뭢 untanglin?my mind.
Now, I ain뭪 gonna repeat
What I said any more --
While I뭢 breathin?air that ain뭪 been breathed before,
I뭠l be just as gone as the wild goose in winter --
Understand your man, meditate on it --
Understand your man, I뭢 tired of your bad-mouthin?--
Understand your man.
