Five Long Years

If you ever been mistreated

You know just what I'm talking about

If 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

Trucking steel like a slave

Five long years every Friday

I went straight home with all my pay

If 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 a lesson

I should-a known long time ago

The next woman I marry

She's got to work and bring me some dough

I've been mistreated

You know just what I'm talking about

I worked five long years for one woman

Then she had the nerve to put me out
