John Lee Hooker - The Folk Lore of John Lee Hooker

Five Long Years

If you've ever been mistreated
You'll know just what I'm talkin' about

If you've ever been mistreated
You'll know just what I'm talkin' about

I waited 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 a-runnin' straight home with all my pay
I been mistreated
You know just what I'm talkin' about

I waited five long years for one woman
She had the nerve to put me out
Yes, yes, yeah

I've finally 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 waited five long years for one woman
She had the nerve to put me out, oh, yeah
It's too bad, too bad
