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
