Five Long Years Songtext
von The Yardbirds

Well if you′ve ever been mistreated
You know what I'm talking about
Well if you′ve ever been mistreated
You know what I'm talking about
I worked five long years for one girl
She had the nerve to put me out

I got a job in the steel mill
Chucking steel like a slave
Five long years every Friday
I worked hard to bring home my pay


I've been mistreated
I know what I′m talking about

I worked five long years for one girl
She had the nerve to put me out

I finally learned my lesson
I should have a long time ago
The next little girl that I marry
She gonna work hard to bring me home my dough

I′ve been mistreated
I know what I'm talking about


I worked five long years for one girl
She had the nerve, she had the nerve
She had the nerve, oh my baby had the nerve
She had the nerve to put me out
