Hey Joe, 
Where you going with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe, 
										
Where you going with that gun in your hand?
I'm gonna shoot my baby, 
I caught her messin round 
With another man
Hey Joe, 
I heard you shot your baby down
Hey Joe, 
I heard you shot your baby down
Yes I did I shot her, 
I went and put her 
In the ground
Hey Joe, 
Where you gonna run to now?
Hey Joe, 
Where you gonna run to now?
I'm heading way down South 
Where I can be free
I'm heading Mexico way, 
No hangman's about to put a leash around me
