Lyrics for Hey Joe

Hey Joe, Where you going with that gun in your hand? Hey Joe, Where you going with that gun in your hand? I'm gonna shoot my baby, I caught her messin round With another man Hey Joe, I heard you shot your baby down Hey Joe, I heard you shot your baby down Yes I did I shot her, I went and put her In the ground Hey Joe, Where you gonna run to now? Hey Joe, Where you gonna run to now? I'm heading way down South Where I can be free I'm heading Mexico way, No hangman's about to put a leash around me
