B.B. King Five Long Years song lyrics
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"
