John Lee Hooker Five Long Years


If you've ever been mistreated, you know just what I'm
talkin' about
If you've ever been mistreated, you know just what I'm
talkin' 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, truckin' steel like a slave
Five years of fright runnin' straight home with all my
pay
I been mistreated, you know just what I'm talkin' about
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve
to put me out
Yes, yes, yeah

I fin'ly learned to listen, I should a long, long time
ago
Next woman I marry, she got to work and bring me some
gold, oh yeah
You know just what I'm talkin' about
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve
to put me out, oh yeah
It's too bad, too bad
