Five Long Years - Cuby & The Blizzards

Lord, have you ever been mistreated

Then you got to, you got to know just what I’m talking about

Yes, have you ever been mistreated

Then you got to, you got to know just what I’m talking about

Lord I work five long years for one woman

And she had the nerve to kick me out

I got a job at a steel mill

I’m shucking steel just like a slave

Five long years, every Friday y’all I went straight home yeah

I went straight home

Mistreated

Then you got to, you got to know just what I’m talking about

Lord I work five long years for one woman

And she had the nerve to kick me out

Lord but I finally learned a lesson

I should have known long time ago

The next woman I marry, she gotta have two jobs

And she gotta go out and work long and bring some dough

Lord, said I been mistreated

And you got to, you got to know just what I’m talking about

Lord I work five long years for one woman

And she had the nerve to kick me out

Have you ever been mistreated

Then you got to, you got to know just what I’m talking about

Yes, have you ever been mistreated

Then you got to, you got to know just what I’m talking about

Lord I work five long years for one woman

And she had the nerve to kick me out
