Deep Purple - Hey Joe

Hey Joe,

where you going with that gun in your hand?

Hey Joe,

now tell me, where you going with that gun in your hand?

I'm going down to shoot my lady

'cause I caught her messing around with another man.

Yes, I'm going down to shoot my lady

'cause I caught her messing around with another man.

Hey Joe,

I heard you shot your woman down, (yes he did)

Hey Joe,

I heard you shot your woman down, right down to the ground.

Yes I did, I shot her,

you know I shot her 'cause I caught her messing ‘round town.

Yes I did, I shot her,

I shot my woman 'cause she was messing ‘round town

and I gave her the gun ohh I shot her!

Oh, hey Joe,

tell me, where you gonna run to?

Now, hey Joe,

come on, tell me, where you gonna run to?

Now, don't you worry about me,

I'm going way down south,

way down south, where I'm gonna be free.

Oh, I'm going way down south,

way down south,

maybe I’ll try Mexico way.

I'm gonna run, oh yeah.
