five long years

b.b. king

if you ever been mistreated

then you know just what i'm talking about. if you ever been mistreated people

you know just what i'm talking about. i tell you i worked

i worked five long years for a woman

and she had the nerve to put me out. you know i got a job in a steel mill

trucking steel like a slave. five long years

every friday i went straight home with all of my pay. if you ever been mistreated people then you know just what i'm talking about. i tell you i worked

i worked five long years for a woman

and she had the nerve to put me out. but you know

i finally learned a lesson

a long

long time ago. the next woman that i marry

she gotta work and bring in the dough. if you been mistreated people then you know just what i'm talking about. i tell you i worked

i worked five long years for a woman

she had the nerve

she had the nerve to put me out.
