Yes, I'm going down to shoot my lady
Cos I caught her messing around with another man

Hey Joe

You know I shot her cos I caught her messing 'round town
Yes I did I shot her

Hey Joe

Album notes:
SHADES OF DEEP PURPLE was recorded in about 18 hours between
May 11 and May 13 1968, just a few months after the group had
formed The band was a combination of the groups ROUNDABOUT
(featuring Blackmore, Lord and Simper) and THE MAZE (featuring
Evans and Paice) Blackmore, Lord and Simper had been in the
music business for years, Evans and Paice for not quite as long,
but none of them had ever tasted major success before the release
of the album
The album was released in September and made #24, while the
single off it, Hush, made #4
Most of the initial set list was taken off this album together
with other covers Of these songs, Hush and Mandrake Root were
the most popular; Hush being re-recorded in 1988, and Mandrake
Root clocking in at an unbelievable time of 28:42 on a live
album
