[Verse 1]
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
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
I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messin' 'round with another man
And that ain't too cool
[Verse 2]
Hey Joe, I heard you shot your mamma down
You shot her down now
Hey Joe, I heard you shot your lady down
You shot her down to the ground
[Chorus]
Yes, I did, I shot her
You know I caught her 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
[Verse 3]
Hey Joe
Where you gonna run to now?
Hey Joe, I said
Where you gonna run to now?
I'm goin' way down south
Way down to Mexico way
I'm goin' way down south
Way down where I can be free
Ain't no hang-man gonna
He ain't gonna put a rope around me
Hey, Joe
You better run on down
Goodbye everybody
