Description:
THE UNFAITHFUL SERVANTThe BandThe Band (1970)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 turned your back,Left your keys and gone to pack.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 blowin,Yes, that train is a-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 alleven when that sky is rainin'.To take it like a grain of saltis all I can do. It's no one's fault,Makes no diff'rence 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 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 mem'ries 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.

Jul 25, 2010 - -this LP came out when I was 14, and I bought it soon after, because I'd loved the single 'Rag Mama Rag'. I don't have the vinyl copy anymore, but whenever I hear these songs, they still sound awesome!

Aug 22, 2010 - the fact that rick danko got this down in the first take speaks so much to the fact that this song is just pure emotion and passion..not artificial at all......the way music should be...

May 3, 2011 - The Band brought me a renewed sense of learning in my own playing and signing at a time when I felt dry. Not only is this a beautiful work, it hits home deeply for me. One of the best all time songs ever written and performed.Sheer beauty.

Jan 23, 2012 - Maybe the best song on the album.
Psycholaundry Says:
Feb 2, 2012 - maybe the greatest album ever recorded. Stands up over time like few others. Makes "Abbey Road" sound like kindergarten.

Mar 20, 2012 - My older brother gave me this album (8-track tape, no less) when in high school and I have loved The Band ever since. Unfaithful Servant - one of the top ten songs in my life, for sure!

May 21, 2012 - That is at is should be... whenever the public finds something of actual value they beat the shit out of it.. just ask Bob Dylan.
opivyh8su Says:
May 10, 2010 - It takes lyrics to wring your heart out, most music today is about what somone has and flaunting it over you who does not have that item (these items include ho's and bentleys) or whining about things that people don't have...The essence is that songs are no longer stories nor allegories, they're just a beat with a few catchy lyrics. When the chorus of a song dominates 90% of the song you know that it's crap for sure. It's still out there but you have to dig for sure.
