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
Gonna buy me a Blue Steel 44
You know I'm going downtown
Gonna buy me a Blue Steel 44
I'm gonna catch up with that girl
She won't be messing around
On me no more.
Well I say: Hey Joe
Where you going with that gun in your hand
I say: 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 that you shot your lady down
Hey Joe, you know I heard that you shot your lady down
Yes I did, 'cos I caught her messin' 'round
Messin' around messin' around town
Well all right, I said: Hey Joe
Better lay low and get out of town
I said: Hey Joe
Where you gonna run to now
He said: I'm gonna downtown
And I'm gonna get me a passport
See, well, I'm going down south way down Mexico way
And there ain't no hangman
Gonna put no noose around me
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 a noose around me
