Muddy Waters - Five Long Years Lyrics

(Eddie Boyd)

Have you ever been mistreated, and you know what I'm talkin' about
Have you ever been mistreated, and you know what I'm talkin' about
Now you know I work five long years for one woman,
She had the nerve to put me out

I finally learned a lesson, you know a long long time ago
I finally learned a lesson, you know a long long time ago
The next woman that I marry, she got to work and bring me some dough

Yes I been mistreated, you know what I'm talkin' about
Yes I been mistreated, you know what I'm talkin' about
Now you know I work five long years for one woman,
She had the nerve to put me out
She had the nerve
She had the nerve
She had the nerve to put me out
