[Verse 1]

Em                                                 D  Em
Looking at the pictures of the places that he’s been
                          A  Em
Old man told me what he found

Said he looked at the places, talk to the faces that he seen
                                      A  Em
Then he turned the pictures upside down
                                                                D  Em

[Verse 4]
 
Em                                                 D  Em
Betty Joe Johnson, don’t you pull no Daisy Mae on me
                         D  Em
Daisy Mae she did me dirty, 
                          D      Em
so I had to leave her for Anna Lee
                 D    Em                                                                        
Anna Lee she had big street feet, 
                D                Em
she spends her nights out on the road
            D       Em
So I started seeing Sally Jackson, 
                 D      Em
I had to let old Anna Lee go
                D      Em
Sally Jackson was a player, 
              D      Em
had another man along with me
                  D      Em
So I just took me one step backwards, 
              D          Em
checked up on old Anna Lee
                D      Em
Anna Lee still had them street feet
               D           Em
Like to dance all night and sleep all day
                D           Em
So I just took one more step backwards, 
              D         Em
checked up on old Daisy Mae
             D            Em
Daisy Mae is still doing dirty, 
               D           Em
so I tell you what I had to do
            D           Em
I had to go just one step further, Betty Joe Johnson
           D          Em
And that’s how I know you

[Verse 5] 

Em                                                         D  Em
Said he looked at the places, talk to the faces that he seen
                            D      Em
Then he turned the pictures upside down  
                                                                D  Em
Said it don’t make no difference how many places that you’ve been
Em
Said the world keeps going around and around
