Hey Joe

Hey Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand

Hey Joe, I said where you going with that gun in your hand

I'm going down to shoot my old lady

I caught her messing 'round with another man

I'm going down to shoot my old lady now

You know I caught her messing 'round with another man

And that ain't too cool

Hey Joe, I heard you shot your woman down

You shot her down now

Hey Joe, I heard you shot your lady down

You shot her down to the ground

Yes I did shot her

You know I caught her messing 'round down

Yes I did shot her

You know I caught my her messing 'round down

And I gave her the gun

You shot her

Hey Joe

Where you gonna run

Hey Joe

Where you gonna run

I'm going way down south

Way down to Mexico way

I'm going way down south

Way down where I can be free

Ain't no one gonna mess

He ain't gonna put a rope me

Hey Joe, you better run on down

Goodbye everybody
