Hey Joe Songtext
von Jerry Douglas

Hey Joe, where you goin′ with that gun of your hand
Hey Joe, I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand, oh
I′m goin' down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messin' ′round with another man
Yeah, I′m goin' down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messin′ 'round with another man
Huh! and that ain′t cool
Huh hey hoe, I heard you shot your mama down
You shot her down now
Hey Joe, I heard you shot your lady down
You shot her down in the ground yeah!
Yeah!

Yes, I did, I shot her
You know I caught her messin' round messin′ round town
Huh, yes I did I shot her
You know I caught my old lady messin' 'round town
And I gave her the gun
And I shot her


Alright
Shoot her one more time again baby!
Yeah!
Oh dig it
Oh alright

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

Alright
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 right now
I gotta go now

Hey, Joe
You better run on down
Goodbye everybody
Hey hey Joe
