If you've ever been mistreated, you know just what I'm talkin' about
If you've ever been mistreated, you know just what I'm talkin' 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, truckin' steel like a slave
Five years of fright runnin' straight home with all my pay
I been mistreated, you know just what I'm talkin' about
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve to put me out
Yes, yes, yeah
I fin'ly learned to listen, I should a long, long time ago
Next woman I marry, she got to work and bring me some gold, oh yeah
You know just what I'm talkin' about
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve to put me out, oh yeah
It's too bad, too bad

Jimmy McGregor, hey, Jimmy, come here
Jimmy, you son of a gun
What 'cha been doin'? How long has it been?
Hell, seven years if it's been one

How's the preacher? How's Don, did he go back to school?
No kidding, I thought he was gay
Who me? Oh, I'm great, I'm a father you know
Yeah, two of 'em and one on the way

Oh well, she couldn't make it, she gets pretty tired
She started her last month today
I only came up for a couple of minutes
Believe me, I wish I could stay

Oh and yeah, while I think of it, do you remember?
Not for myself, for a friend
A girl that I brought here before I got married
A couple of times at the end

Whatshername? She hardly knew me
Now her name means something to me
I wonder if she ever got over me
Anyway, I should be flattered for yesterday
At least I mattered, where did it go?

Hey Jimmy, I tell you, we're two lucky guys
You've got everything that you've planned
And all things considered, I've done fairly well
I mean, God's honest truth, man
I love Ruth and whatshername?

I thought I knew her, whatshername?
What happened to her? I don't know why
I'll never forget whatshername?
