Hey Joe

Hey Joe

Where you goin' with that gun in your hand?

Hey Joe

I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand?

I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady

You know I caught her messin' round with another man

I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady

You know I caught her messin' round with another man

And that ain't too cool

Hey Joe

I heard you shot your mama 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, I shot her

You know I caught her messin' round town

Yes, I did, I shot her

You know I caught my old lady messin' round town

And I gave her the gun

I shot her

Hey Joe

Where you gonna run to now?

Hey Joe, I said

Where you gonna run to now?

I'm gonna go way down south

Way down to Mexico way

I'm gonna go way down south

Way down where I can be free

Ain't no hangman gonna

He ain't gonna put a rope around me

Hey Joe

You better run on down

Goodbye, everybody
