The Unfaithful Servant

Unfaithful servant, I hear you're 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 you do it just for the glory?

Like a stranger you turned your back

Left your keep and gone to pack

Bear in mind who's to blame for 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 a-goin'

Need 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 difference 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, 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 memories will linger on

But good, old days, they're all gone

Oh, lonesome servant, can't you see

We're still one and the same, just you and me
