- Five Long Years Lyrics / with translationsIf you've ever been mistreated, you know just what I'm
talkin' about
If you've ever been mistreated, you know just what I'm
talkin' about
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve
to put me out
I got a job in a steel mill, truckin' steel like a slave
Five years of fright runnin' straight home with all my
pay
I been mistreated, you know just what I'm talkin' about
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve
to put me out
Yes, yes, yeah
I fin'ly learned to listen, I should a long, long time
ago
Next woman I marry, she got to work and bring me some
gold, oh yeah
You know just what I'm talkin' about
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve
to put me out, oh yeah
It's too bad, too bad
talkin' about
If you've ever been mistreated, you know just what I'm
talkin' about
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve
to put me out
I got a job in a steel mill, truckin' steel like a slave
Five years of fright runnin' straight home with all my
pay
I been mistreated, you know just what I'm talkin' about
to put me out
Yes, yes, yeah
I fin'ly learned to listen, I should a long, long time

Next woman I marry, she got to work and bring me some
gold, oh yeah
You know just what I'm talkin' about
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve
to put me out, oh yeah
It's too bad, too bad
