Hey Joe, where you goin’ with that gun of yours?
Hey Joe, I said where you goin’ with that gun in your hand,
I’m goin’ down to shoot my lady, You know I caught her messin’ ‘round with another man.
Yeah, I’m goin’ down to shoot my lady You know I caught her messin’ ‘round with another man Huh! And that ain’t cool.

A hey Joe, I heard you shot your woman down, You shot her down now,
A hey Joe, I heard you shot your old lady down, You shot her down in the ground, Yeah
Yes, I did, I shot her, You know I caught her messin’ ‘round, messin’ ‘round town,
Uh, yes I did, I shot her. You Know I caught my old Lady messin’ ‘round town, And have her the gun, And I shot her.

E:
Alright, shoot her one more time again baby!
Yeah! Dig it.
Oh alright.

Hey Joe Where you gonna run to now, where you gonna go?
Hey Joe, I said Where you gonna run to now, where you gonna go?
I’m goin’ way down south, Way down to Mexico way.
I’m goin’ way down south, Way down where I can be free, Ain’t no one gonna find me.



Outro Ain’t no hang-man gonna, He ain’t gonna put a rope around me,
You better believe it right now, I gotta go now,
Hey Joe, You better run on down
