Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hey Joe, what you doin' with that gun in your hand?

Hey Joe, what you doin' with that gun in your hand?

I caught my woman, whoa, with another man

I caught my woman with another man

I shot my woman

I shot her down

I shot my woman

I shot her down

[Verse 2]

I think I'm gonna go

Down to Mexico way

I think I wanna go

Down to Mexico way

Ain't no hangman

Don't put no hangman noose around me, baby

Ain't no hangman

Don't put no hangman noose around me
