Eric Clapton From The Cradle Five Long Years



(by eddie boyd)

Have you ever been mistreated? you know just what i'm talking about.
Have you ever been mistreated? you know just what i'm talking 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, shucking steel like a slave.
Five long years, every friday i come straight back home with all my pay.
Have you ever been mistreated? you know just what i'm talking about.
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve to put me out.

I finally learned my lesson, should a long time ago.
The next woman that i marry, she gonna work and bring me the dough.
Have you ever been mistreated? you know just what i'm talking about.
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve,
She had the nerve,
She had the nerve,
She had the nerve to put me out.
