Clapton, Eric - Five Long Years 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.
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.

Clapton, Eric Five Long Years Comments
The tone Clapton uses on this song and throughout this album ranks among his best, and personally my favorite of his entire catalogue. Gets me everytime.
This is where Black Sabbath got it from. Sure you add the Tritone and Harmonic Minor, but at the end of the day, Heavy Metal came from Blues. And some bands still have the feel
Mere mortals would have been satisfied with the first half of that killer solo, but Eric took the second half to a place mere mortals fear to tread. In my book, the all-time greatest guitar solo.
It's one of the nastiest, grittiest, most beautiful solos. He's really speaking to you through the guitar, just amazing.
LOL. Andrew, I'm pretty sure God could out riff Clapton, but not too many others could.
I agree with Arkady

Buddy guys version was better in my opinion Clapton killed it none the less
I think this is probably the greatest guitar performance ever laid down on a recording.
i don't think, it's the greatest guitar performance ever laid down on a recording.
God bless Clapton.
HOLY COW!!! Clapton really rocks out the 90s Blues-Rock on this one! In-Fact I always think of a sleazy 90s roughneck-bar Everytime I hear this to be honest.
So beautiful.... I love 💕 this....
I tear up at the intro every time I hear this!
Maravillosa interpretación, guitarra poderosa, genial Eric Clapton... un blues soberbio
The GREATEST!!!
thats how plays the blues
eric clapton one of the best of all time ...👍💕
Elizabeth Rojas THE BEST! Well, my favorite! 😌👍🏽
no better ever maybe buddy guy but brilliant
Eeel violero !!
possesed by the blues
Just ask Robert
This is real brilliant super good he is.
io lo adoro quest uomo
grande Eric
grande Eric
love it..
It's called BLUES POWER!!!!!
Take a lesson on blues guitar from the master...
And they call him Slowhand............Clapton´s on fire in this one!!!!He beat the shit out of everyone else.....
C'est a au moins 90% les titres que j'aurais personnellement choisi si je faisais ma propre playlist! Que du bon!!
Снова обращаю свой взгляд на один из лучших альбомов Клэптона. На From The Cradle (1994), полностью состоящем из кавер-версий блюзовой классики, Клэптон демонстрирует тонкое понимание блюза и превосходную технику исполнения. Версия Five Long Years Эдди Бойда, просто потрясающая. На наших глазах обычный 12-тактовый блюз, превращается в грандиозное творение...
В точку
Согласен на все 100%
Это шедевр
as a christian im very upset that people say clapton is god. Theres no way god can play guitar this good.
+Andrew Crane HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! Well Played Sir!!!
now THAT'S funny Andrew....didn't see that coming
have you ever been mistreated??
Ahahahahahaha
@andres ugue You know just what I’m talkin’ about!!!!!
Clapton has been, is and always will be the best!!! I'm in doubt though weather this is my favorite solo from him or the one in "Just Like a Prisoner". But again, everything he does is so perfect, it's difficult to tell.
On this day in 1994 {September 24th} Eric Clapton performed "Five Long Years" on the NBC-TV program 'Saturday Night Live'...
The song was track five from his 'From the Cradle' album, which was released on Sept. 13th, 1994...
It was composed and originally recorded by Eddie Boyd in 1952, and on Nov. 8th, 1952 reached #1 {for 7 weeks} on Billboard's R&B Best Sellers chart...
This SNL episode was its 20th season premier show...
RIP Mr. Boyd {1914 - 1994} & 'Slowhand' turns 69 next March 30th...
Clapton is still God!
changed my life as well
This album changed my life.
I
love
it
Absolutely a turning point for me.
your life must be pathetic.
