The Band Unfaithful Servant (Live 12/28-12/31/71, The Academy Of Music, NYC) lyrics

Unfaithful servant, I hear you leavin' soon in the mornin'
What did you do to the lady, now 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've turned your back
Left your key 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 we shared

Unfaithful servant, I can hear the whistle blowin'
Yes, that train is a-comin' and soon you'll be a-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 too cold for me to stay

Goodbye to that country home, so long to the lady I have known
Farewell to my other side, I'd best just take it in his stride
Unfaithful servant, you'll learn to find your place
I can see it in your smile, 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
