Hey Joe, where you goin' down with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe, where you goin' down 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.
Uh, hey Joe, I heard you shot your woman down,
you shot her down.
Uh, hey Joe, I heard you shot you old lady down,
you shot her down to the ground.
Yes, I did, I shot her,
You know I caught her messin' 'round with another man
That ain't too cool
Uh, 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!
Hey Joe
uh, where you gonna run to now, where you gonna run to?
Hey Joe, I said,
where you goin' to run
to now, where you, where you gonna go?
I'm goin' way down south
way down to Mexico
I'm goin' way down south,
way down to Mexico
where you gonna go?
