"Hey Joe" lyrics

"Hey Joe"

Hey, Joe. Where you going
With that gun in your hand
Hey, Joe. Now, tell me where you're going
With that gun in your hand
I'm gonna shoot my lady
'Cause I caught her messing
'Round with another man
Yes, I'm going down to shoot my lady
'Cause I caught her messing
'Round with another man

Hey, Joe. I heard you shot
Your woman down
Hey, Joe. I heard you shot
Your woman down
Right down to the ground
Yes, I did. I shot her
You know I shot her 'cause I caught
Her messing 'round town
Yes, I did. I shot her
I shot my woman 'cause
She was messing 'round town
I gave her the gun. I shot her!

Hey, Joe. Tell me
Where you're gonna run to now?
Hey, Joe. Come on. Tell me
Where you gonna run to?
Don't you worry about me
I'm going way down south
Way down south
Where I'm gonna be free
I'm going way down south
Way down south
Maybe outside Mexico Way
I'm gonna run. Oh yeah
