If you ever been mistreated
Then you know just what 
I'm talking about
If you ever been mistreated people
Oh, you know just what 
I'm talking about
I tell you 
I worked, 
I workedFive long years for a woman
And she had the nerve to put me out
You know I got a job at a steel mill
Trucking steel like a slave
Five long years every 
FridayI 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 workedFive 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 marryShe got to work and bring in the dough
If you ever been mistreated people
Then you know just what 
I'm talking about
I tell you 
I worked, 
I workedFive long years for a woman
She had the nerve
She had the nerve to put me out
