Five Long Years Songtext
von Lazy Lester

Have you ever been mistreated?
You know just what I′m talkin' about
Have you ever been mistreated?
You know just what I′m talkin' about

Oh, I worked five long years for one woman
She had the nerve to put me out


I got a job in a steel mill
Chucking steel like a slave
Five long years, every Friday, I'll come
Home with all of my pay

I′ve been mistreated?
Don′t you know what I'm talking about? Oh, yes you do
I worked five long years for this woman
She had the nerve to put me out

I finally learned my lesson long time ago
Next woman I marry, she gotta work and bring me some gold


I′ve been mistreated
Don't you know what I′m talking about? Oh, yes you do
Oh, I worked five long years for this woman
She had the nerve to put me out
