The Unfaithful Servant

Unfaithful Servant, I hear you leavin' soon in the mornin'

What did you do to the lady, that she's gonna have to send you away?

Unfaithful servant, you don't have to say you're sorry

If you done it just for the spite, or did ya do it just for the glory?

Like a stranger you turned your back

Left your keys and gone to pack

Bear in mind who's to blame, and all the shame

She really cared, the time she spared and the home you shared

Unfaithful servant, I can hear the whistle blowin

Yes, that train is a-comin' and soon you'll be goin'

Let us not bow our heads for we won't be complainin'

Life has been good to us all

even when that sky is rainin'

To take it like a grain of salt

is all I can do. It's no one's fault

Makes no diff'rence if we fade away

It's just as it was, it's much to cold for me to stay

Goodbye to that country home

So long to a lady I have known

Farewell to my other side

I'd best just take it in stride

Unfaithful Servant, you'll learn to find your place

I can see it in your smile

And, yes, I can see it in your face

The mem'ries will linger on

But the good old days, they're all gone

Oh, lonesome servant, can't you see

That we're still one and the same, just you and me
