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've turned your back
Left your keys and gone to pack
But 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 blowing

And the home you shared
Unfaithful servant
I can hear the whistle blowing
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 has been rainin'
To take it like a grain of salt
Is all I can do and it's no one's fault
Makes no difference 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 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
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
