Lyrics:

Lord, have you ever been mistreated

Then you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking

About

Yes, have you ever been mistreated

Then you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking

About

Lord I work five long years for one woman, and she had

The nerve to kick me out



I got a job at a steel mill, I'm shucking steel just

Like a slave

Five long years, every Friday y'all I went straight

Home yeah, I went straight home

Mistreated

Then you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking

About

Lord I work five long years for one woman, and she had

The nerve to kick me out



Lord but I finally learned a lesson, I should have

Known long time ago

The next woman I marry, she gotta have two jobs,

And she gotta go out and work long and bring some dough

Lord, said I been mistreated

And you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking

About

Lord I work five long years for one woman, and she had

The nerve to kick me out



Have you ever been mistreated

Then you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking

About

Yes, have you ever been mistreated

Then you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking

About

Lord I work five long years for one woman, and she had

The nerve to kick me out



I got a job at a steel mill, I'm shucking steel just

Like a slave

Five long years, every Friday yes y'all I went straight

Home,

I went straight home with all my pay

Yes, I've been mistreated

And you got to, you got to know just what I'm talking

About

Lord I work five long years for one woman, and she had

The nerve to kick me out



Lord I finally learned a lesson, I should have known a

Long time ago

The next woman I marry, she gotta have two jobs,

And she gotta go out and work and bringing home some

Dough

I've been mistreated, yeah

And you, you know just what I'm talking about

I work five long years for one woman, and she had the

Nerves to kick me out
