Hey Joe
Where you going with that gun in your hand
Hey Joe
Now tell me where you going
with that gun in your hand
I'm gonna shoot my lady
Cos I caught her messing around
with another man
Yes, I'm going down to shoot my lady
Cos I caught her messing around
with another man

Hey Joe
I heard you shot your woman down
Hey Joe

Right down to the ground
Yes I did I shot her
You know I shot her
Cos I caught her messing 'round town
Yes I did I shot her
I shot my woman
Cos she was messing 'round town
I gave her the gun - I shot her!

Hey Joe

Hey Joe

Way down South where I'm gonna be free

I'm gonna run, oh yeah
