| Lord, I worked five long years for the same woman
|
| And she had the nerve to put me out
|
| I got a job at a steel mill
|
| I was chucking steel like a slave
|
| Five long years, but Friday I come home
|
| I said Lord, Lord, I said Lord with all my pay
|
| I said I’ve been mistreated
|
| Then you gotta know what I’m talking about
|
| Five long years, but Friday I come home
|
| She had the nerve to put me out
|
| You know I finally learnt my lesson
|
| I should’ve known a long time ago
|
| The next woman that I marry
|

|
| She gonna work, gonna work and bring me the dough
|
