Lyrics

Looking at the pictures of the places that he's been Old man told me what he found Said it don't make no difference whether you're out or whether you're in You know the world keeps going around and around Going around and around Said he looked at the places, talk to the faces that he seen Then he turned the pictures upside down Said it don't make no difference how many places that you've been Said the world keeps going around and around Going around and around Then he put up the pictures shook his head and with a grin He talked about his ups and downs Said it don't make no difference how many fixes you've been in You know the world keeps going around and around Going around and around Betty Joe Johnson Don't you pull no Daisy Mae on me Daisy Mae she did me dirty So I had to leave her for Anna Lee Anna Lee she had big street feet She spends her nights out on the road So I started seeing Sally Jackson I had to let old Anna Lee go Sally Jackson was a player Had another man along with me So I just took me one step backwards Checked up on old Anna Lee Anna Lee still had them street feet Like to dance all night and sleep all day So I just took one more step backwards Checked up on old Daisy Mae Daisy Mae is still doing dirty So I tell you what I had to do I had to go just one step further Betty Joe Johnson And that's how I know you Said he looked at the places, talk to the faces that he seen Then he turned the pictures upside down Said it don't make no difference how many places that you've been Said the world keeps going around and around Going around and around
