<< Five Long Years >>
|
--- B.B. King
|
|
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.
