Hey Joe Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, Joe
Where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
I said now hey, Joe
Where you goin' with that gun in your hand?

[Verse 2]
Goin' down to shoot my old lady
'Cause you know I caught her messin' 'round town
I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady
'Cause I caught her messin' 'round with another man

[Verse 3]
Hey, Joe
I heard you shot your woman down
Shot her down
Hey I said, hey, Joe
I heard you shot your woman down
Shot her down to the ground

[Verse 4]
Yes I did, I shot her
'Cause I caught her messin' 'round town

[Verse 5]
Hey Joe
I heard you shot your woman down
Shot her down
Well I said, oh hey Joe
I heard you shot your woman down
Shot her down, shot her down
[Verse 6]
Yes, yes I did, I shot her
'Cause I caught her messin' 'round town

[Verse 7]
Hey Joe
Where you gonna run to now?
I said, I said hey, Joe
Where you gonna run to now?
Where you gonna go?

[Verse 8]
Well dude, I'm goin' down south
Way down to Mexico way
I said I'm goin' down south
Way down to Mexico way

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
