Five Long Years

Five Long Years - Eddie Boyd

If you ever been mistreated

Well You 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

The 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

Then 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

The She had the nerve to put me out
