And she had the nerve to put me out
Five long years for a woman
I tell you I worked, I worked
I tell you I worked, I worked
Five long years every Friday
Five long years for a woman
I tell you I worked, I worked
You know I got a job at a steel mill
If you ever been mistreated people
Five long years for a woman
The next woman that I marry
If you ever been mistreated people
I went straight home with all of my pay
A long, long time ago
But you know, I finally learned a lesson
She got to work and bring in the dough
If you ever been mistreated people
Then you know just what I'm talking about
She had the nerve
Oh, you know just what I'm talking about
Then you know just what I'm talking about
And she had the nerve to put me out
Trucking steel like a slave
