Five Long Years - Aynsley Lister

Have you ever been mistreated

Then you’ve gotta know what I’m talking about

Have you ever been mistreated

Then you gotta know what I’m talking about

Lord, I worked five long years for the same woman

And she had the nerve to put me out

I got a job at a steel mill

I was chucking steel like a slave

Five long years, but Friday I come home

I said Lord, Lord, I said Lord with all my pay

I said I’ve been mistreated

Then you gotta know what I’m talking about

Five long years, but Friday I come home

She had the nerve to put me out

You know I finally learnt my lesson

I should’ve known a long time ago

The next woman that I marry

Gonna have two jobs and

She gonna work, gonna work and bring me the dough

I’ve been mistreated

Then you gotta know, you got to know, you gotta know what I’m talking about

Five long years the same woman

I said she had the nerve, she had the nerve to put me out

Yeah
