Lyrics
Hey Joe
Where you going with that gun in your hand?
Hey, hey Joe
I wanna know where you going with that gun in your hand
I'm going downtown and shoot my old lady
'Cause I caught her messing 'round with another man
Oh yes, I did
I'm going down and shoot my old lady
I caught her messing 'round with another man
Hey Joe
I heard you shot your woman down
Shot her down to the ground
Hey, hey Joe
You caught her messing 'round downtown, boy, ow!
No, no, no, no, no, no, hey
Hey Joe
Tell me, boy, I wanna know
Where you gonna run to, man?
Lord have mercy
Hey Joe, Joe
Where you gonna run to now? Lord
I'm going way down south, yeah
I'm going down to Mexico way, oh, yes I am
I'm going way, way down south
Where I can be free, Lord, Lord have mercy
Ain't no hangman, yeah
They gon' put no rope around me
Lord have mercy
Got to be free
