Hey Joe Lyrics - Recapturing The Banjo - Otis Taylor

Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun of your hand 

Hey Joe, I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand, oh 

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 cool 

Huh hey hoe, I heard you shot your mama down 

You shot her down now 

Hey Joe, I heard you shot your lady down 

You shot her down in the ground yeah! 

Yeah! 

Yes, I did, I shot her 

You know I caught her messin' round messin' round town 

Huh, yes I did I shot her 

You know I caught my old lady messin' 'round town 

And I gave her the gun 

And I shot her 

Alright 

Shoot her one more time again baby! 

Yeah! 

Oh dig it 

Oh alright 

Hey Joe, 

Where you gonna run to now where you gonna go 

Hey Joe, I said 

Where you gonna run to now where you gonna go 

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 hang-man gonna 

He ain't gonna put a rope around me 

You better believe it right now 

I gotta go now 

Hey, Joe 

You better run on down 

Goodbye everybody 

Hey hey Joe
