Lyrics:

Hey, Joe,
Oh where you're goin' with that gun in your . . .?
Hey, Joe,
I said, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?'

'I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady.
You know I caught her messin' 'round with another man.
Yeah, I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady.
You know I caught her messin' 'round with another man.
Huh, and that ain't too cool.'

'Hey, Joe,
I heard you shot your woman down,
You shot her down, now.
Hey, Joe,
I heard you shot your old lady down,
shot her down to the ground.'

'Yes I did, I shot her.
You know I caught her messin' 'round, messin' 'round town.
Yes I did, I shot her.
You know I caught my old lady messin' 'round town,
And I gave her the gun.
I shot her.'

'Alright,
Show them one more time again, baby
Yeah,
Oh . . .'

'Hey, Joe,
Where you gonna run to now?
Where you gonna run to?
Hey, Joe, I said,
Where you gonna run to now?
Where you . . . where you gonna go?'

'Well, dig,
I'm goin' way down south,
Way down to Mexico way.
Alright!
I'm goin' way down south,
Way down where I can be free.
Ain't no one gonna find me.
Ain't no hangman gonna,
He ain't gonna put a rope around me
You better believe it right now! I gotta go now.'

'Hey, hey Joe,
You better run on down
Goodbye everybody .
