Hey joe, where you goin´ with that gun in your hand
I said hey hey joe where you goin´ with that gun in your hand
I gotta find my old lady
I caught her messin´ around with another man
Found my old lady
Caught her messin´ around with another man

Hey joe what you gonna do
Hey hey joe what you gonna do
Shoot my old lady
I caught her messin´ messin´ round town
Shoot my old lady
I caught her messin´ messin´ round town

Hey joe where you gonna go
Hey hey joe where you gonna go
I'm goin´ down where the green grass grows
I'm goin´ down to the gulf of mexico

Ain't no hangman gonna hang no noose around me
Hey joe where you gonna go
Hey joe where you gonna go
Ah joe where you gonna go
