Muddy Waters
Five Long Years
Written by - Eddie Boyd
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
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 worked five long years for one woman
She had the nerve to put me out

I finally learned my lesson
Shoulda 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 worked five long years for one woman
She had the nerve
She had the nerve
She had the nerve
She had the nerve to put me out
