Hey Joe

(album: Ride On - 1979)

Hey Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe, I said where you going with that gun in your hand?
I'm going down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messing 'round with another man, yeah
I'm going down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messing 'round with another man

Uh, hey Joe, I heard you shot your woman down
You shot her down, now
Hey Joe, I heard you shot your woman down
You shot her down to the ground, yeah

Yes, I did, I shot her
You know I caught her messing 'round, messing 'round town
Yes, I did, I shot her
You know I caught my old lady messing 'round town
And I gave her the gun
I shot her!

All right
Shoot her one more time again, baby
Yeah
Ah, dig it, now
Ah! ah!
Oh, all right

Hey Joe, said now
Uh, where you gonna run to now, where you gonna run to?
Hey Joe, I said
Where you gonna run to now, where you, where you gonna go?
Well, dig it!

I'm going way down south
Way down to Mexico way
All right
I'm going way down south
Way down where I can be free
Ain't no one gonna find me
Ain't no hangman gonna
He ain't gonna put a rope around me
You better believe it right now
I gotta go now
Hey, hey Joe
You better run on down
Goodbye everybody
Ow!
Hey, hey Joe
Run on down
