Lyrics:

Hey Joe, where you going with that money in your hand??
I say hey Joe, where you going with that money in your hand??
Well I'm going to see my woman
You know I heard she done messed around with some other man, I heard she did
You know I'm going downtown, I'm gonna buy me a Blue Steel '44
You know I'm going downtown, I'm gonna buy me a Blue Steel '44
I'm gonna catch up with that girl, she won't be messin' 'round on me no more.

Well I say hey Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand??
Hey hey Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand??
I'm gonna shoot my woman
I found her messin' around with some other man.

Hey Joe, I heard you shot your old lady down
Hey Joe, you know I heard that you shot your old lady down
Yes I did 'cause I caught her messin' 'round, messin' 'round, messin' 'round town, well all right.

I said hey Joe, you better lay low and get out of town
I said hey Joe, where you gonna run to now??
He said I'm going downtown and I'm gonna get me a passport, see (oh see)
Well I'm going down South, way down Mexico way
And there ain't no hangman gonna put no noose around me, hu-hu
Just 'cause I shot her, just 'cause I shot her down, all right.

Well I'm going down South, way down Mexico way
I'm going down South where a man can be free
No there ain't no hangman gonna put no noose around me.
