Hey Joe, where you goin’ with that gun of your hand?
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
I’m goin’ down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messin’ ‘round with another man
And, uh, that ain’t too cool!”

Hey Joe, I heard you shot your old lady down
You shot her down…
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
Yes I did I shot her
You know I caught my old lady messin’ ‘round town
So I gave her the gun
I shot her!”

Hey Joe, I said: “Where you gonna run to now, where you gonna go?”
Hey Joe, I said: “Where you gonna run to now where you gonna go?”
And he said this: “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
Ain’t no hang-man gonna
He ain’t gonna put a rope around me
You better believe it, baby!”
Hey, Joe, you better run on down
You better…goodbye everybody!
