John Lee Hooker - Five Long Years lyrics
[John Lee Hooker - Five Long Years lyrics]
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
