lyrics

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.
You know I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve to put me out.

I got a job in a steel mill, I was shuckin' steel just like a slave.
Five long years and every Friday I come home with all my pay.
Have you ever been mistreated? Well then you know just what I'm talking about.
Well, I worked five long years for the same woman, and she had the nerve to put me out.

I finally learned my lesson, should a long time ago.
The next woman that I marry's gonna have two jobs, she gonna bring me all 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.
