The Unfaithful Servant lyrics
Songwriters: Robertson, Robbie;

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
