5 Long Years Lyrics - Live The Life - Otis Spann

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. 

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 worked five long years for one woman, 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 worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve, 

She had the nerve, 

She had the nerve, 

She had the nerve to put me out.
