Five Long Years

Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about. Have 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 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, 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, she had the nerve, She had the nerve, She had the nerve, She had the nerve to put me out. --- Five Long Years - Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Otis Spann and Billy Stepney
