Five Long Years

Five Long Years - B.B.King
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
you know 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 tell you I worked five long years for one woman
and 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 tell you I worked five long years for one woman
She had the nerve
She had the nerve to put me out
