Hey Joe, I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand
I'm going down to shoot my old lady
You know, I've caught her messin' around with another man
I'm going down to shoot my old lady
You know, I've caught her messin' around with another man
And that ain't too cool
Hey Joe, I've heard you shot your woman down,
Shot her down, now
I said I've heard you shot your old lady down,
You 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' around town
And I gave her the gun
I SHOT HER!
Hey Joe, said now

Hey Joe, I said where you gonna run to now?
Where you, where you gonna go?
Well, dig it

Way down to Mexico way
Alright!

Way down where I can be free
Ain't no one gonna find me, baby

Hey Joe, you better run on down
Good by everybody
