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 a - nother 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.
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.
