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
