Lyrics

[00:03.91] Unfaithful servant, I hear you're leavin' soon in the mornin'
[00:13.67] What did you do to the lady, that she's gonna have to send you away?
[00:23.15] Unfaithful servant, you don't have to say you're sorry,
[00:33.00] If you done it just for the spite, or did you do it just for the glory?
[00:42.91] Like a stranger you turned your back,
[00:47.13] Left your keep and gone to pack
[00:52.19] But bear in mind who's to blame for all the shame
[00:58.02] She really cared
[01:00.20] The time she spared
[01:02.33] And the home you shared
[01:04.54]
[01:06.03] Unfaithful servant, I can hear the whistle blowin',
[01:15.79] Yes, that train is a-comin' and soon you'll be a-goin'
[01:26.49] Need us not bow our heads, for we won't be complainin'
[01:35.65] Life has been good to us all, even when that sky is rainin'
[01:45.51] To take it like a grain of salt,
[01:49.60] Is all I can do and it's no one's fault
[01:54.94] It makes no diff'rence if we fade away
[02:00.59] It's just as it was
[02:03.02] And it's much to cold for me to stay
[02:05.79]
[02:08.60] Goodbye to that country home, so long, lady I have known,
[02:18.38] Farewell to my other side, I'd best just take it in stride
[02:27.99] Unfaithful servant, you'll learn to find your place
[02:37.87] I can see it in your smile, and, yes, I can see it in your face
[02:47.92] The mem'ries will linger on,
[02:51.79] But the good old days, they're all gone
[02:56.39] Oh, lonesome servant, can't you see,
[03:02.82] We're still one and the same
[03:06.50] Just you and me
[03:08.79] ~~solo~~
