Hey Joe - Where you going with that gun in your hand
Hey Joe - Where you going with that gun in your hand

Going down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messing around with another man
Going down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messing around on me

Hey Joe - I heard that you shot your old lady down
Hey Joe - I heard that you shot your old lady down

Yes I did, I shot her her
You know, I caught that girl messing around town
Yes I did, I shot her her
You know, I caught that girl messing around town

I took out my gun,
Then I shot her
I shot her

Hey Joe - Where you gonna run to now
Hey Joe - Where you gonna run to now
Where you gonna go

Ain't no hangman gonna
Get a rope around me
Ain't no hangman gonna
Get a rope around me. (no one gonna)

Goin' way down south
Way down to Mexico way
Goin' way down south
Way down where I can be free
