Five Long Years - J.B. Lenoir

Written by：Eddie Boyd

Evil you ever been mistreated

Well you know just what I'm talking about

Evil you ever been mistreated

You know just what I'm talking about

I worked five long years one woman

She had the nerve to put me out

I got a job in a steel mill

Shucking steel like a slave

Yeah

Five long years

Every Friday

I went straight home with all my pay

Evil 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

Ahh

Ahh

I finally learned my lesson

I should a long long time ago

The next woman I marry

She got to work and bring me some dough

I've 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
