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

but 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 and it's no one's fault

it makes no diff'rence if we fade away

it's just as it was

and 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 mem'ries will linger on

but 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
