Separation Blues Songtext
von Patrick Sky

This song is sometimes called "I′m In Transition With You
Baby In St. Louis" or "I'll Never Forget What′s-Her-Name"

Well, I'm in the kitchen, my baby's in the hall
Said I′m in the kitchen, my baby′s in the hall
Yes, 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 separation blues

Said, you see that fly crawlin' up that wall
Said, you see that fly stompin′ up that wall
Yes, you see that fly crawlin' up that wall
He won't speak to Miss Spider at all
′Cause you know they got, they got the separation blues

When you kick your baby out of bed because she won′t treat you nice
When you feel mistreated, said buddy, take my advice

Leave that woman and leave her quick
Said, leave that woman and leave her quick
Yes, leave that woman and leave her quick
Else she'll have you on a stick
You know it′s better to leave than get the separation blues


Now, Adam ate the apple which Eve did thieve
Yes, Adam ate that apple which Eve did thieve
Yes, Adam ate the apple which Eve did thieve
The Lord said "Adam, you gotta leave"
Now you know that gave him, gave him the separation blues

Now, the last words that poor John the Baptist said
Said, the last words that John the Baptist said
Yes, the last words that John the Baptist said
Just before he lost his head
Gives me, gives me the separation blues

All this goes to prove since time began
What those 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 think she should
Said, if she don't treat you like you think she should
Yes, if she don′t treat you like you think she should
Your services ain't no longer any good
Well, it's time you got a dose of separation
Said, time you got a dose of separation blues
