Hey Joe Paroles

Said where you going with that gun in your hand



Said I'm gonna shoot my old lady down

I caught her messing around with another man

Said I'm gonna shoot my old lady down

I caught her messing around on me



Hey Joe,

I heard that you shot your old lady down

Hey Joe,
Well, I guess that's true you know I shot her, yeah

Well, yes I did, I said I did, I shot down

Well, yes I did, I said I did, I shot down to the ground



So hey Joe,

Where are you gonna run to now

Said where you gonna go to, where ya gonna run, where ya gonna hide



I said I'm going way down south to Mexico, eh

No one's gonna put a noose around me

I said I'm going way down south to Mexico, eh

Where a man can be free



Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
