Hey Joe Songtext
von The Creation

Hey Joe, where you goin′ with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Don′t look nice
I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messin′ ′round with another man
I'm goin′ down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messin' ′round with another man
It ain't right


Hey Joe, I heard you shot your lady down, shot her down
Yes I did
Hey Joe, I heard you shot your woman down, shot her down
Yes I did, I shot her
You know I caught my woman messin′ 'round town
See ya
Yes I did, I shot her
You know I caught my woman messin' ′round
And I gave her the gun, I shot her

What a fool am I
I better run

Hey Joe, there′s something I just gotta tell you
It was me with your woman today
I feel so bad
I just stood by to see my lady die

Hey Joe, tell me where you gonna run to now?
Think of some women
Hey Joe, tell me where you gonna run to now?
'Cause you gotta get away
I′m goin' way down South, way down Mexico way
Oh yes I am
I′m goin' way down South, way down Mexico way
I′m movin' on 'cause there ain′t no hangman gonna
Ain′t gonna put a rope around me


Oh no, goodbye everybody
I'm movin′ out, get down the road
