Got them high, long, and lonesome
Separation blues
Got them high, long, and lonesome
Separation blues
When you want your sweetheart back
She left you through and through
Try so long and you try so hard
But in the end you lose
Find your way to that corn whiskey
Your best friend is a bottle of booze
You got them high, long, and lonesome
Separation blues
You got them high, long, and lonesome
Separation blues
Well, she took the railroad out of town
Took your revenue
One day she's in Milwaukee
The next in Baton Rouge
Why she left you on your birthday
Now you haven't got a clue
You got them high, long, and lonesome
Separation blues
You got them high, long, and lonesome
Separation blues
Well, she'll get her another sweetheart
Yes you'll get yourself one too
Unless she's in the graveyard and
You're out on a cruise
You found your way to end it
Yeah, now it's tried and true
No more high, long, and lonesome
Separation blues
No more high, long, and lonesome
Separation blues
You got them high, long, and lonesome
Separation blues
You got them high, long, and lonesome
Separation blues
