[C] Don't call my name [A] out your [Am] window when I'm leaving, [F] I won't even turn [G] my head.
[C] Don't send your kinfolks [Am] to give me no talking, [A] [D] I'll be gone like [G] I said.
[C] You'd say the same old thing that you've been saying all [Eb] along, [F] lay there in your bed and
keep your mouth shut till I'm [C] gone.
Don't give me that old familiar [Am] cryin' cussin' moan.
[F] [G] Understand [C] you old man, I'm [Am] tired of your bad [F]-mouthing.

[C] I ain't gonna repeat what I said [Eb] anymore [F] while I'm breathing air that ain't been breathed [E] before.
[C] I'll be as [Am] gone as a wild goose in winter.
[Dm] Then you'll [G]
understand [C] you old man, [Am] meditate [G] on it.

you, [F] [G] understand.
