This song is for all of you, like me, who bear grudges
Resentment, "Five Long Years" (one)
ย
Have you ever been mistreated?
Then you know just what I'm talking about
Have you ever been mistreated?
Then you know just what I'm talking about
I work five long years for one woman
She had the nerve to throw me out
I got a job at a steel mill
Shucking steel just like a slave
Five long years, every Friday I come straight home
I went straight home
Have you ever been mistreated?
Then you know just what I'm talking about
I work five long years for one woman
She had the nerve to throw me out
ย
I finally learned my lesson
I should, a long time ago
The next woman that I marry, she gonna have to go
And work long and bring some dough
Have you ever been mistreated?
You know just what I'm talking about
I work 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
