Five Long Years Songtext
von Al Smith

Have you ever been mistreated?
You know just what I′m talking about
Yes, have you ever been mistreated?
You know, 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
Working steel like a slave
I come home on Friday
She wanna take all my pay


I′ve been mistreated
You know, you know, you know, you
Know just what I'm talking about, mmm
'Cause I worked five long years for one woman
And she had the nerve to put me out, oh yeah

I′ve learned a lesson long time ago
The next girl I married
She gotta work and get me some dough
I′ve been mistreated
You know, you know, you know just what I'm talking about, mmm
Yeah, I worked five long years for one woman
She had the nerve to put me out, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
