Un, dos, tres.

Hey Joe,
where are you goin' with all that money in your hand?
I said, "Hey, hey Joe,
where are you goin' with that money in your hand?"

"I'm gonna see my woman,
I heard she done messed around with some other man.
I heard she did.
You know, I'm goin' downtown,
I'm gonna buy me a blue steel 44.
I'm goin' downtown,
to a pawn shop and buy me a blue steel 44.
When I'm catch up with that girl,
she won't be messing around on me no more."

Alright.

Hey Joe,
where are you goin' with that gun in your hand?
I said, "Hey, hey Joe,
where are you goin' with that pistola in your hand?"

"I'm gonna shoot my woman,
I heard she've been foolin' around with some other man."

I said, "Hey Joe,
I heard that you shot your woman down."
I said, "Hey, hey Joe,
I heard that you shot your old lady down."

You said, "Yes I did,
'cause I caught her messin' around, messin' around town.

Alright.

Hey Joe,
where are you gonna run to now?
I said, "Hey Joe,
where are you gonna go to now?"
He said, "I'm goin' downtown
and I'm gonna buy me a passport, see?"
(¡Ah, si!)

And there ain't no hang-man
gonna put no noose around me.
Yeah, and I'm goin' down Mexico way.
There ain't no hang-man
gonna put no noose around me,
just 'cause I shot her,
just 'cause I shot her down.
Just 'cause I shot her,
shot her down.

Alright.

Well, I'm goin' down south,
way down Mexico way.
Well, I'm goin' down south,
where a man can be free.
No, there ain't no hang-man
gonna put no noose around me.
No, there ain't no hang-man
gonna put no noose around me,
just 'cause I shot her,
just 'cause I shot her down.
