Lyrics:

(Eddie Boyd)

well, Have You Ever Been Mistreated

d'you Know What I'm Talking About

well, Have You Ever Been Mistreated

d'you Know What I'm Talking About

i Worked Five Long Years For One Girl,

she Had The Nerve To Put Me Out.



got A Job In A Steel Mill,

shucking Steel Like A Slave.

five Days And Every Friday, I Work And Bring Home My Pay.

if You've Ever Been Mistreated,

d'you Know What I'm Talking About

well, I Worked Five Long Years For One Girl,

she Had The Nerve To Put Me Out.



i Finally Learned My Lesson, Should A Long Time Ago.

the Next Little Girl That I Marry,

she Work And Bring Me Some Gold.

if You've Ever Been Mistreated,

d'you Know What I'm Talking About

well, I Worked Five Long Years For One Girl,

she Had The Nerve To Put Me Out.



i Finally Learned My Lesson, Should A Long Time Ago.

the Next Little Girl That I Marry,

she Work And Bring Me Some Gold.

if You've Ever Been Mistreated,

d'you Know What I'm Talking About

well, I Worked Five Long Years For One Girl,

she Had The Nerve,

she Had The Nerve,

she Had The Nerve,

she Had The Nerve To Put Me Out.
