Hey Joe

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
