Hey Joe (B. Roberts)


Hey Joe where you goin' with that money in your hand
Hey Joe where you goin' with that money in your hand
I'm gonna find my woman she's runnin' around with some other man

I'm gonna go down town buy me a blue steel 44
I'm gonna go down town, gonna buy me a blue steel 44
When I find my woman she's not gonna run any more

Hey Joe I hear you shot your woman dead
Hey Joe I hear you've shot your woman dead
Yes I did you know I found them both in the same damn bed

Hey Joe where you gonna go
Hey Joe where you gonna go
I guess I go to my favourite Mexico

I guess I go down where a man can be free
I guess I go down where a man can be free
Ain't no damned old hangman gonna put a noose around me

Hey Joe where are you goin' with that gun in your hand
Hey Joe where are you goin' with all a that cash
