Five Long Years

Five Long Years - John Lee Hooker (约翰·李·胡克)

If you've ever been mistreated

You know just what I'm talkin' about

If you've ever been mistreated

You know just what I'm talkin' 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

Truckin' steel like a slave

Five years of fright runnin' straight home with all my pay

I been mistreated you know just what I'm talkin' about

I worked five long years for one woman

She had the nerve to put me out

Yes yes yeah

I fin'ly learned to listen

I should a long long time ago

Next woman I marry she got to work

And bring me some gold oh yeah

You know just what I'm talkin' about

I worked five long years for one woman

She had the nerve to put me out oh yeah

It's too bad too bad
