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 you 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 an' 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 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 difference if we fade away

It's just as it was, it's much too 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 memories will linger on

The 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
