Hey Joe Lyrics

Hey, Joe,  

  Oh where you're goin' with that gun in your . . .?  

  Hey, Joe,  

  I said, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?"  

  

  "I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady.  

  You know I caught her messin' 'round with another man.  

  Yeah, 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, now.  

  Hey, Joe,  

  I heard you shot your old lady down,  

  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 town,  

  And I gave her the gun.  

  I shot her."  

  

  "Alright,  

  Show them one more time again, baby  

  Yeah,  

  Oh . . ."  

  

  "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,  

  I'm goin' way down south,  

  Way down to 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,  

  He ain't gonna put a rope around me  

  You better believe it right now! I gotta go now."  

  

  "Hey, hey Joe,  

  You better run on down  

  Goodbye everybody .
