I'm in the kitchen
baby's in the hall
I'm in the kitchen
baby's in the hall
I'm in the kitchen
baby's in the hall
she won't speak to me at all
cause you know we got
we got the seperation blues

now see that fly
stomping up that wall
see that fly
stomping up that wall
see that fly
stomping up that wall
he won't speak to that spider at all
cause you know they've got
they've got the seperation blues

when you kick your baby out of bed
cause she won't treat you right
or when you feel mistreated
buddy take my advice

leave that woman
and leave her quick
leave that woman
and leave her quickleave that woman
and leave her quick
else she'll have you on a stick
it's better to leave than get some seperation blues

now, the last words that poor
john the babtist said
the last words that poor
john the babtist saidthe last words that poor
john the babtist said
just before they cut off his head
gives me gives me the seperation blues

all this goes to show since time began
what women can do to men
it's better to buy than to be sold
to the gutter for a bottle of gin

if she don't treat you
like you thing she should
if she don't treat you
like you thing she should
if she don't treat you
like you thing she should
her services ain't no longer no good
it's time you got a dose of seperation
time you got a dose of seperation
time you got a dose of seperation
blues
