Five Long Years Lyrics & Chords By Eddie Boyd

Have you ever been mistreated?
You know just what I'm talking about
Have you ever been mistreated?
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
Shucking steel like a slave

Five long years, every Friday
I come straight back home with all my pay
Have you ever been mistreated?
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 finally learned my lesson, should a long time ago

The next woman that I marry
She gonna work and bring me the dough
Have you ever been mistreated?
You know just what I'm talking about
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve

She had the nerve
She had the nerve
She had the nerve to put me out
