Five Long Years

Five Long Years - Little Junior Parker

If you ever been mistreated

You know just what I'm talking about

If you ever been mistreated

You know what I'm talking about

I worked five long years for one woman

Then 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 we start

Straight home with all my pay

Ever been mistreated

You know what I'm talking about

I worked five long years for one woman

The she had the nerve to put me out

I finally learned my lesson long long time ago

The next woman that I marry

She gonna work and bring me the dough

I ever been mistreated

You know what I'm talking about

I worked five long years for one woman

Then she had the nerve to put me out
