Five Long Years

Lyrics

> If you've ever been mistreated Then you know just what I'm talking about If you've ever been mistreated people Then you know just what I'm talking about I worked five long years for one man And he had the nerve to put me out I'll tell you what I did now I got a job as a maid, scrubbing' floors like a slave Five long years, I worked hard and I, I gave him all my pay I think I been mistreated You know just what I'm talking about I worked, I worked five long years for one man And he had the nerve to put me out > Guitar solo < I finally lеarned a lesson, took a long, long time ago Thе next man that I marry Is gon' have to work and bring ME the dough I been mistreated You know just what I'm talking about I worked five long years for one man And he had the nerve to put me out << Transcribed from the album "Bold Sister: The Best of the Blue Thumb Recordings (1997), 07OCT2021 caj
