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. ~
