Five Long Years

Lyrics

[Intro:] Have you ever been mistreated? Do you know what I'm talking about?[x2] Well, I worked five long years for my girl She had the nerve to put me out [Verse 1:] I got a job in a steel mill, shucking steel like a slave Five years and every Friday I walk in, bring home my pay Have you ever been mistreated? Do you know what I'm talking about? Well, I worked five long years for one girl She had the nerve to put me out [Chorus:] I finally learned my lesson Should a long time ago The next little girl that I marry She gonna work and bring me some dough If you've ever been mistreated Do you know just what I'm talking about? I worked five long years for one girl She had the nerve to put me out [Chorus:] I finally learned my lesson Should a long time ago The next girl that I marry She gonna work and bring me some dough If you've ever been mistreated Do you know what I'm talking about? Well I worked five long years for one girl She had the nerve[x3] She had the nerve to put me out
