Five Long Years Songtext
von Jimmy Reed

If you′ve ever been mistreated, you know what I'm talkin′ about
If you ever been mistreated, you know what I'm talkin' about
I worked five long years for one woman and the she had the nerve to put me out
Got a job in a steel mill, shuckin′ steel like a slave
Five long years, ev′ry Friday, I went straight home with my pay
I've been mistreated, ah, you know what I′m talkin' about I worked five long years on one woman, now she has the nerve to put me out
I finally learned a lesson a long, long time ago
Next woman I marry she′s gotta, work an' bring me some dough
′Cause I've, I've been mistreated, you know what I′m talkin′ about
I worked five long years for one woman, now she got the nerve to put me out
