Five Long Years lyrics
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
