Five Long Years

Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about

Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about

I worked five long years for one

woman, she had the nerve to put me out

I got a job in a steel mill, shucking steel like a slave

Five long years,

every Friday I come straight back home with all my pay

Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about

I worked five long years for one

woman, she had the nerve to put me out

I finally learned my lesson, should a long time ago

The next woman that I marry, she gonna work and bring me the dough

Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about

I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve

She had the nerve

She had the nerve

She had the nerve to put me out
