Five Long Years

Lord, if you've ever been mistreated

Then you got to, you got to know just what I'm talkin' about

Yes, have you ever been mistreated?

Then you got to, you got to know just what I'm talkin' about

Lord I work five long years for one woman, 

And she had the, nerve, to kick me out

I got a job at a steel mill, 

I'm shucking steel just like a slave

Five long years, every Friday y'all I went straight home yeah, 

I went straight home

Mistreated

Then you got to, 

You got to know just what I'm talkin' about

Lord I work five long years for one woman, 

And she had the nerve, to kick me out

Lord but I finally learned a lesson, 

I should have known long time ago

The next woman I marry, she gotta have two jobs,

And she gotta go out and work long and bring some dough home

Lord, said I been mistreated

And you got to, you got to know just what I'm talkin' about

Lord I work five long years for one woman, 

And she had the nerve, to kick me out

Have you ever been mistreated?

Then you got to, 

You got to know just what I'm talkin' about

Yes, have you ever been mistreated?

Then you got to, 

You got to know just what I'm talking about?

Lord I work five long years for one woman, 

And she had the nerve to kick me out

I got a job at a steel mill, 

I'm shucking steel just like a slave

Five long years, every Friday yes y'all I went straight home,

I went straight home with all my pay

Yes, I've been mistreated

And you got to, 

You got to know just what I'm talking about

Lord I work five long years for one woman,

And she had the nerve, to kick me out

Lord, 

I finally learned a lesson, 

I should have known a long time ago

The next woman I marry, she gotta have two jobs,

And she gotta go out and work and bringing home some dough

I've been mistreated,

And you, you know just what I'm talking about

I work five long years for one woman, 

And she had the nerves to kick me out
