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.
