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
|

|
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
|
