Five Long Years

If you've been mistreated, you know just what I'm talking about
Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about
Now I worked five long years for one woman
She wasn't gentle enough to put me on

Had a job as a steel mill worker
Trucking steel like a slave
Five long years, every Friday
I went straight home with all my pay

I've been mistreated, you know just what I'm talking about
Now I worked five long years for one woman
She wasn't gentle enough to put me on

I finally learned a lesson
Should've known a long time ago
Next woman that I marry
She got to work and help me bring some dough

I've been mistreated, you know just what I'm talking about
Now I worked five long years for one woman
She wasn't gentle enough to put me on
