Five Long Years

(by eddie boyd)



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.
