[Verse 1]
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Goin' down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her mess around with another man
Goin' down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her mess around with another man
That ain't too cool

[Verse 2]
Hey Joe, heard you shot your woman down
Hey Joe, heard you shot your lady down
Yes I did, I shot her
You know, I caught that girl messin' 'round town
Yes I did, I shot her
You know, I caught that girl messin' 'round town
I took out my gun then I shot her
I shot her

[Verse 3]
Hey Joe, where you gonna run to now?
Hey Joe, where you gonna run to now?
Where you gonna go?
Goin' way down south
Way down the Mexico way
[Verse 4]
Goin' way down south
Way down where I can be free
Ain't no hangman gonna
Get a rope around me
Ain't no hangman gonna
Get a rope around me

[Outro]
Yo, I'm gone
