Five Long Years (Version 2)

soundclip


by Eddie Boyd
recording of 1967

from The Jungle (Blues Interactions PCD-3009), copyright notice

If you ever been mistreated, then you know just what I'm talking about
If you ever been mistreated, then you know just what I'm talking about
I worked five long years for one woman, and she had the nerve to put me out

I'm gonna jump out of steel mill, truckin' steel like a slave
For five long years every Friday, I went straight home with all of my pays
If you ever been mistreated, then you should know just what I'm talking about
I worked five long years for one woman, and she had the nerve to put me out

Yes I finally learned a lesson, I took a long time to know
The next woman I marry, she's gonna work and bring in the dough
If you ever been mistreated, then you should know just what I'm talking about
I worked five long years for one woman, and she had the nerve to put me out
