Lyrics:

Hey Joe, where you goin' with that money in your hand?
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that money in your hand?
Goin' downtown, buy me a blue steel .44
Goin' downtown, buy me a blue steel .44

Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
I'm goin' downtown, find my baby, she been runnin' with another man
I'm goin' to find my woman, she be runnin' with another man, ah

Hey Joe, I heard you shot your lady down?
Hey Joe, I heard you shot your lady down?
Yes I did, I shot her just like I said
Yes I did, I shot her just like I said

Hey Joe, where you gonna run to now?
Hey Joe, where you gonna run to now?
I'm goin' way down south now
I'm goin' way down south where I can be free

Ain't no hangman, ain't no hangmen
Ain't no hangman, ain't no hangmen put no noose around me
