Lightnin' Hopkins - Have You Ever Been Mistreated lyrics

Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve to put me out I got a job in a steel mill, shucking steel like a slave Five long years, every Friday I come straight back home with all my pay Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve to put me out I finally learned my lesson, should a long time ago The next woman that I marry, she gonna work and bring me the dough Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve She had the nerve She had the nerve She had the nerve to put me out
