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 now
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 woman 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 her messin' 'round, messin' 'round 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
