Five Long Years Songtext

von Cuby & the Blizzards

Well, have you ever been mistreated
Then you know what I'm talking about
Have you ever been mistreated
Then you know what I'm talking about
I worked five long years for one woman
She had the nerve to put me down

Now I got a job in a steel mill
Shucking steel like a slave
Five long years, every Friday
I come straight home with all my pay

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 down

Five long years payment
It's a long, long way to go
The next woman that I marry
She'll have to carry
And bring me some dough

Yes, I've been mistreated
You know what I'm talking about
I worked five long years for one woman
She had the nerve to put me down
