Five Long Years

by Eddie Boyd

Music : 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.
