Five Long Years Lyrics

Five Long Years lyrics

Lord, have you ever been mistreated

Then you got to, you got to know just
what I'm talking about

Yes, have you ever been mistreated

Then you
got to, you got to know just what I'm talking about

Lord I work five long
years for one woman, and she had the nerve to kick me out



I got a
job at a steel mill, I'm shucking steel just like a slave

Five long
years, every Friday y'all I went straight home yeah, I went straight home

Mistreated

Then you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking
about

Lord I work five long years for one woman, and she had the nerve to
kick me out



Lord but I finally learned a lesson, I should have
known long time ago

The next woman I marry, she gotta have two jobs,

and she gotta go out and work long and bring some dough

Lord, said I
been mistreated

And you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking
about

Lord I work five long years for one woman, and she had the nerve to
kick me out



Have you ever been mistreated

Then you got to,
you got to know just what I'm talking about

Yes, have you ever been
mistreated

Then you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking
about

Lord I work five long years for one woman, and she had the nerve to
kick me out



I got a job at a steel mill, I'm shucking steel just
like a slave

Five long years, every Friday yes y'all I went straight
home,

I went straight home with all my pay

Yes, I've been
mistreated

And you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking
about

Lord I work five long years for one woman, and she had the nerve to
kick me out



Lord I finally learned a lesson, I should have known a
long time ago

The next woman I marry, she gotta have two jobs,

and
she gotta go out and work and bringing home some dough

I've been
mistreated, yeah

And you, you know just what I'm talking about

I
work five long years for one woman, and she had the nerves to kick me out
