Hey Joe (Inst) Songtext
von The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Hey Joe
Where you goin′ with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe
I said, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?

I′m going down to shoot my old lady
You know, I've caught her messin' around with another man (yeah)
I′m going down to shoot my old lady
You know, I′ve caught her messin' around with another man
And that ain′t too cool

Hey Joe
I heard you shot your woman down, shot her down, now
Hey Joe
I heard you shot your old lady down
You shot her down to the ground (yeah)


Yes I did, I shot her
You know, I caught her messin' ′round, messin' ′round town
Yes I did, I shot her
You know, I caught my old lady messin' around town
And I gave her the gun
I shot her!

Alright
Shoot her one more time, baby

Yeah, oh

Hey Joe, said now
Where you gonna run to now? Where you gonna run to?
Hey Joe, I said
Where you gonna run to now? Where you, where you gonna go?
Well, dig it

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 hangman 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 Joe
