Hey Joe Lyrics

Otis Taylor Hey Joe

Hey Joe, where you goin' with that money in your hand?
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that money in your hand?
Chasin' my woman, she run off with another man

Goin' downtown, buy me a forty four
Goin' downtown, buy me a forty four
When I get through that woman won't run no more

Hey Joe, what are you gonna do?
Hey Joe, what are you gonna do?
Take my pistol and kill her before I'm through
Hey Joe, I heard you shot your woman dead
Hey Joe, I heard you shot your woman dead
Yes, I did, got both of them lying in that bed

Hey Joe, where do you think you'll go?
Hey Joe, do you think you'll go?
Leaving here think I'll go to Mexico

Yes, I'm going, going where a man can be free
Yes, I'm going, going where a man can be free
'Cause ain't no hangman gonna put no noose on me
