Five Long Years Songtext
von Junior Parker

Have you ever been mistreated?
You know what I′m talking about now, yeah
Have you ever been mistreated? (Alright now)
You know what I'm talking about now, yeah
I worked five long years for one woman now
Then she had the nerve to put me out now, yeah

I got a job in a steel mill
Trucking steel like a slave, yeah
Five long years, every Friday I went to
A straight home of all my pay


Ever been mistreated? (Alright now)
You know what I′m talking about now, yeah
I worked five long years for one woman now
Then she had the nerve to put me out now, yeah

I finally learned a lesson
A long, long time ago, yeah
The next woman I marry now, huh
She's got to work and bring me some gold

And I've been mistreated, alright now
Y′all listen to me
You know what I′m talking about now, yeah
I worked five long years for one woman now
Then she had the nerve to put me out now, yeah
