Buddy Guy, Junior Wells & Junior Mance - Five Long Years Lyrics
Lord, have you ever been mistreated?Then you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking aboutYes, have you ever been mistreated?Then you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking aboutLord, I work five long years for one womanAnd she had the nerve to kick me outI got a job at a steel millI'm shucking steel just like a slaveFive long years, every Friday, y'allI went straight home, yeah, I went straight homeMistreatedThen you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking aboutLord, I work five long years for one womanAnd she had the nerve to kick me outLord but I finally learned a lessonI should have known long time agoThe next woman I marry, she gotta have two jobsAnd she gotta go out and work long and bring some doughLord, said I been mistreatedAnd you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking aboutLord, I work five long years for one womanAnd she had the nerve to kick me outHave you ever been mistreated?Then you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking aboutYes, have you ever been mistreated?Then you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking aboutLord, I work five long years for one womanAnd she had the nerve to kick me outI got a job at a steel millI'm shucking steel just like a slaveFive long yearsEvery Friday yes y'all I went straight homeI went straight home with all my payYes, I've been mistreatedAnd you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking aboutLord I work five long years for one womanAnd she had the nerve to kick me outLord but I finally learned a lessonI should have known long time agoThe next woman I marry, she gotta have two jobsAnd she gotta go out and work long and bring some doughLord, said I been mistreatedAnd you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking aboutLord, I work five long years for one womanAnd she had the nerve to kick me out
