The Unfaithful Servant

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
