Hey joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Hey joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Goin' out to shoot my lady
You know i caught her messin' 'round with another man
Goin' out to shoot my lady
You know i caught her messin' 'round with another man
Hey joe, you know i heard you shot your woman down
Hey joe, you know i heard you shot your woman down
Yes, i did, i shot her, you know i caught her messin' 'round
Yes, i did, i shot her, you know i caught her messin' 'round
Hey joe, where you gonna run to now?
Hey joe, where you gonna run to now?
I'm gonna run, gonna run, gonna run, to the gallows pole
I'm gonna run, gonna run, gonna run, the hangman can't put a rope around me anyhow...
