Five Long Years, Take 1

Five Long Years, Take 1 - Eddie Boyd

Written by：Eddie Boyd

If you ever been mistreated

Where 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

Shucking steel like a slave

Five long years every Friday

I win 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 my lesson

I should a know long time ago

The next woman I marry

She go to work and bring me some gold

Have been mistreated

You know just what I'm talking about

I worked five long years for one woman

Then she had the nive to

Put me out
