Lyrics

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
