Ain't it hard to say goodbye on separation day?

Ain't it hard to say goodbye on separation day?

That the last thing my baby say

Ooo-well, now when she walked away



I couldn't hardly take it

But I had the debt to pay

I couldn't hardly take it

But I had the debt to pay

Because my baby said good-bye

Hoo-hoo-well, on separation day



It was a hard pill to swallow

On that going that way

It is too late to holler

When your good girl is gone away

It's a hard pill to swallow, hoo-well-well

When you think about separation day



(piano)



Wait here one hour, while I go an pray

Wait here one hour, whiles I go an pray

I wanna tell the people, hoo-well-well

I ain't seein' my cell today.



When you get up in the mornin'

You don't have nothin' to say

When you get up in the mornin'

You don't have nothin' to say, mm

Because your mind is restin'

Hoo-hoo, well on sparation day.
