Hey Joe, where you goin′ with that money in your hand?
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that money in your hand?
I′m gonna go downtown, gonna buy me a blue steel.44
I'm gonna go downtown, gonna buy me a blue steel.44
That's a gun

Hey Joe, where you goin′ with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe, where you goin′ with that gun in your hand?
I'm gonna shoot my woman, I caught her with another man, yes I did
I′m gonna shoot my woman, I caught her with another man, yes I did
I'm gonna shoot


Hey Joe, I heard you shot your woman dead
Hey Joe, I heard you shot your woman dead
You went and shot her dead
Yes I did, I caught her with my best friend in his bed
Yes I did, I caught her with my best friend in his bed
And I shot her

Hey Joe, where are you gonna go now?

Hey Joe, where are you gonna go now?
I′m gonna go down south, think I'll go down to Mexico
I′m goin' south, south where I know a man can be free
Gonna be free
There ain't no hangman gonna put no noose around me
I guess I′ll go down south, I′ll go down to Mexico
I'm a-goin′ south, where I know I can be free
I wanna be free, yeah
There ain't no hangman can put no noose around me
No, he can′t
