Buddy Guy, Junior Wells & Junior Mance Five Long Years lyrics

Lord, have you ever been mistreated?
Then you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking about
Yes, have you ever been mistreated?
Then you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking about
Lord, I work five long years for one woman
And she had the nerve to kick me out

I got a job at a steel mill
I'm shucking steel just like a slave
Five long years, every Friday, y'all
I went straight home, yeah, I went straight home

Mistreated
Then you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking about
Lord, I work five long years for one woman
And she had the nerve to kick me out

Lord but I finally learned a lesson
I should have known long time ago
The next woman I marry, she gotta have two jobs
And she gotta go out and work long and bring some dough

Lord, said I been mistreated
And you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking about
Lord, I work five long years for one woman
And she had the nerve to kick me out

Have you ever been mistreated?
Then you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking about

Yes, have you ever been mistreated?
Then you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking about
Lord, I work five long years for one woman
And she had the nerve to kick me out

I got a job at a steel mill
I'm shucking steel just like a slave
Five long years
Every Friday yes y'all I went straight home
I went straight home with all my pay

Yes, I've been mistreated
And you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking about
Lord I work five long years for one woman
And she had the nerve to kick me out

Lord but I finally learned a lesson
I should have known long time ago
The next woman I marry, she gotta have two jobs
And she gotta go out and work long and bring some dough

Lord, said I been mistreated
And you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking about
Lord, I work five long years for one woman
And she had the nerve to kick me out
