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.
