Five Long Years Lyrics - King Of The Blues - 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.
