Looking at the pictures of the places that he’s been

                          A  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
