Willy DeVille — Hey Joe lyrics

Lyrics

Hey Joe, where you goin' with that money in your hand?
I say, «Hey Joe, where you goin' with that money in your hand ?»
Well, I’m gonna see my woman
You know, I heard she done messed around with some
other man, I heard she did
You know, I’m goin' down town, I’m gonna buy me a blue
steel Forty Four
You know, I’m goin' down town and I’m gonna buy me a blue steel Forty Four
I’m gonna catch up with that girl, she won’t be messing
around on me no more.
Well, I say, «Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Hey, hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your
hand?
I’m gona shoot my woman, I found her messin' around
with some other man
Hey Joe, I heard you shot your old lady down
Hey Joe, you know, I heard that you shot your old lady
down
Yes I did, 'cause I caught her messin' around, messin'
around, messin' around town
Well alright.
I said, «Hey Joe, you better lay low and get outta
town»
I said, «Hey Joe, where you gonna run to now ?»
He said, «I'm goin' down town and I’m gonna get me a pasport see ?» (Oh si)
Well, I’m goin' down south, way down Mexico way
And there ain’t no hangman gonna put no noose around me Just 'cause I shot her, just 'cause I shot her down,
alright.
Well, I’m goin' down south, way down Mexico way
I’m goin' down south, where a man can be free
No there ain’t no hangman gonna put no noose around me Just 'cause I shot her down
No there ain’t no hangman.
