Hey Joe

This is a song about a soul brother named Joe
Joe was a good friend of mine
But you know like sometimes
People tend to everybody's business but their own
Somebody had told Joe about seeing his old lady downtown
Joe had went downtown and saw his old lady doing him wrong

Then went home and was on his way back
And I did everything I could to stop
Him from going down there that day
I called him, I said, "Hey Joe
Where you going with that pistol in your hand?"

Hey Joe, where you going with that pistol in your hand?
This is what he said

"Going downtown
Shoot my old lady 'cause I caught her with another man
Going downtown
Shoot my old lady 'cause I caught her with another man"
Hey Joe, I heard you shot your lady down
Shot her down to the ground
Hey, oh, hey Joe
I heard you shot her down, boy
Tell me Joe, where you gonna run to now?
Tell me where you gonna run to, boy

Way down south
About Mexico way
Way down south
About Mexico way
Got to be free
Ain't gonna let no woman make a fool out of me

Hey Joe
You heard I shot your lady down
Oh, hey Joe
I know you shot her down to the ground
Tell me Joe
Won't she get tired of running one day?

Hey, hey, hey, hey Joe
Oh, hey, hey Joe
Hey Joe
Hey Joe
Hey
