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

You know 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 tell you I worked five long years for one woman

And 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 tell you I worked five long years for one woman

She had the nerve

She had the nerve to put me out
