Five Long Years

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

I finally learned my lesson

Should have long time ago

The next woman that I marry

She's going to work and bring me the dough

[Chorus]

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
