Hey, Joe

[Verse 1]

Hey Joe

Where you going with that gun in your hand?

Hey Joe

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

[Verse 2]

I'm going down to shoot my old lady

You know, I caught her messing around with another man

I'm going down to shoot my old lady

You know, I caught her messing around with another man

And that ain't too cool

[Verse 3]

Hey Joe

I heard you shot your woman down

You shot her down, now

Hey Joe

I heard you shot your old lady down

You shot her down to the ground

Yeah

[Verse 4]

Yes I did, I shot her

You know, I caught her messing around, messing around town

Yes I did, I shot her

You know, I caught my old lady messing around town

And I gave her the gun

I shot her!

[Guitar Solo/Bridge]

Hey Joe, alright

Shoot her one more time, baby

[Verse 5]

Hey Joe, said now

Where you going to run to now?

Where you going to run to?

Hey Joe, I said

Where you going to run to now?

Where you, where you going to go?

Well, dig it

[Verse 6]

I'm going way down south

Way down to Mexico way

Alright

I'm going way down south

Way down where I can be free

There's no one going to find me

[Verse 7]

There's no hangman going to

He ain't gonna put a rope around me

You better believe it right now

I got to go now

[Outro]

Hey Joe

You better run on down

Goodbye everybody, ow!

Hey Joe, uh

Run on down
