Hey Joe Songtext
von Spirit

Roberts

Hey Joe, where you going with that money in your hand?
I say hey Joe, where you going with that money in your hand?
Well I′m going to see my woman
You know I heard she done messed around with some other man, I heard she did
You know I'm going downtown, I′m gonna buy me a Blue Steel '44
You know I'm going downtown, I′m gonna buy me a Blue Steel ′44
I'm gonna catch up with that girl, she won′t be messin' ′round on me no more.


Well I say hey Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand?
Hey hey Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand?
I'm gonna shoot my woman
I found her messin′ around with some other man.

Hey Joe, I heard you shot your old lady down
Hey Joe, you know I heard that you shot your old lady down
Yes I did 'cause I caught her messin' ′round, messin′ 'round, messin′ 'round town, well all right.

I said hey Joe, you better lay low and get out of town
I said hey Joe, where you gonna run to now?
He said I′m going downtown and I'm gonna get me a passport, see (oh see)
Well I′m going down South, way down Mexico way
And there ain't no hangman gonna put no noose around me, hu-hu
Just 'cause I shot her, just ′cause I shot her down, all right.


Well I′m going down South, way down Mexico way
I'm going down South where a man can be free
No there ain′t no hangman gonna put no noose around me.
