and 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 to put me out.
