Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand

Hey Joe, I said where ya goin' with that gun in your hand

I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady now

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

Huh, and that ain't too cool

Hey Joe, I heard you shot your woman down

You shot her down down

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, messin' 'round town

Yes, I did, I shot her

You know I caught my old lady messin' 'round the town

And I gave her the gun, I shot her

Hey Joe, where you gonna run to now

Where you gonna run to

Hey Joe, I said, where you gonna run to now

Where you, where you gonna go

Well dig it

I'm goin' way down south

Way down Mexico way, alright

I'm goin' way down south

Way down where I can be free

Ain't no one gonna find me

Ain't no hangman gonna find me

He ain't gonna put a rope around me

You better believe it right now

Hey Joe, you better run on down

Goodbye, everybody
