Lyrics - Hey Joe by Jimi Hendrix

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 mamma down
You shot her down now
Hey joe,
I heard you shot your lady down
You shot her down in the groud 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
