Texty: Willy Deville. Hey Joe.

Hey Joe
Where you going with that money in your hand
I say: Hey Joe
Where you going with that money in your hand
Well I?m going to see my woman
You know I heard
She done messed around with some other man
I heard she did
You know I?m going downtown
Gonna buy me a Blue Steel 44
You know I?m going downtown
Gonna buy me a Blue Steel 44
I?m gonna catch up with that girl
She won?t be messing around
On me no more.

Well I say: Hey Joe
Where you going with that gun in your hand
I say: Hey Joe
Where you going with that gun in your hand
I?m gonna shoot my woman
I found her messin? around
With some other man
Hey Joe, I heard that you shot your lady down
Hey Joe, you know I heard that you shot your lady down
Yes I did, ?cos I caught her messin? ?round
Messin? around messin? around town
Well all right, I said: Hey Joe
Better lay low and get out of town
I said: Hey Joe
Where you gonna run to now
He said: I?m gonna downtown
And I?m gonna get me a passport
See, well, I?m going down south way down Mexico way
And there ain?t no hangman
Gonna put no noose around me
Just ?cause I shot her
Just ?cause I shot her down, all right
Well I?m going down south way down Mexico way
I?m going down south where a man can be free
No there ain?t no hangman
Gonna put a noose around me
