D​​Understand Your Man, Johnny Cash

Don’t call my name out your window when I’m leavin,
I won’t even turn my head.
Don’t sent your kinfolk to give me no talkin.
I’ll be gone, like I said.

You’d just say the same thing,
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 cryin’, cussin’, moanin

Understand your man.

You can give my other suit to the Salvation Army,
And everything else I leave behind.
Ain’t takin’ nothin‘ that’ll slow down my travelin,
While I’m untanglin‘ my line.

Ain’t gonna repeat, What I said before,
While I’m breathin‘ air that ain’t been breathed before,
I’ll be as gone as the wild goose in the winter,

Then you’ll understand your man,

Understand your man.
