Hey Joe Songtext
von Roy Buchanan

Hey Joe.
Where you goin′ with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe.
I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand?

I′m goin' down to shoot my old lady.
You know I caught her messin' round with another man.
Yeah.
I′m goin′ down to shoot my old lady.
You know I caught her messin' around with another man.
Huh. And that ain′t too cool.

Uh Hey Joe.
I heard you shot your woman down, shot her down now.
Hey Joe.
I heard you shot your old lady down, shot her down in the ground.
Yeah.


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

Alright. Shoot her one more time for me.

Yeah! Aww, Mmm.

Alright.

Hey Joe I said uh,
Where you gonna run to now? Where you gonna run to?
Hey Joe I said,
Where you gonna run to now?
Where ya, where you gonna go?

Well dig, I′m goin' way down South.
Way down Mexico way.
Alright.
I'm goin′ way down South.
Way down where I could 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.
Good bye everybody!
Hey, Hey, Joe.
