were the first to record this song.
Can't figure out the year it was written.
The Hendrix version
we're all familiar with
is from July, 1966.
Hey! Joe! where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
I said hey-hey Joe,
Where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
I'm goin' out to find my woman, now,
She's been runnin' round with some other man.
I said I'm goin' out to find my woman, now,
She's been runnin' round with some other man.
Ah-hey-hey Joe, what, oh, what are you gonna do?
Ah-hey-hey Joe, tell me what are you gonna do?
Well I guess I'll shoot my woman, now, that's what I'll do.
Said I guess I'll shoot them both before I'm through.
Hey, Joe, tell me where are you gonna go
Ah-hey-hey Joe, I said where are you gonna go
Well, I guess I'll go down to my place in Mexico
Said I guess I'll go down to where a man can be free
And there ain't gonna be no hangman's ropes
gonna be put around me.
