Lyrics:

Hey, Joe
Said, where you going with that gun in your hand?

Hey, Joe
Said, where you going with that gun in your hand?
He said, 'I'm going to shoot my old lady down
I caught her messing around with another man'
He said, 'I'm going to shoot my old lady down
I caught her messing around on me'


Hey, Joe
I heard that you shot your old lady down

Hey, Joe
I heard that you caught your lady fucking some other guy
And you shot her down
'Well, you know, I guess that's true and
I guess you can say I shot her, yeah-yeah-yeah

Well, yes, I did, I said, I did, I shot her down
Say, yes, I did, I said, I did, I shot her down to the ground
So, hey, Joe
Where you going to run to now?
Said, where you gonna go to? Where you gonna run?
Where you gonna hide?
Well, I said, I'm going way down south to Mexico, hey
No one's gonna put a noose around me
I said, I'm going way down south to Mexico, hey
Where I can be free! Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
