lyrics

hey joe, i say where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
hey joe, i say where you goin’ with that gun in your hand?
i said i'm gonna shoot my old lady down
i caught her messin' around with another man
i said i'm gonna shoot my old lady down 
i caught her messin' around on me 
hey joe, i heard that you shot your old lady down 
hey joe, i heard that you caught your old lady ***in' 
some other guy and you shot her down
well, i guess you can say that's true
ya, i shot her down
well, yes i did, i shot her down 
i said, yes i did, i shot her down to the ground 
so hey joe, where you gonna run to now? 
i say where you gonna run to? where ya gonna go? where ya gonna hide?
i said i'm gonna go south, mexico way, no one's gonna put a noose 'round me
i said i'm goin' way down south, mexico way, where a man can be free
ai ai ai ai ow!
