Hey-ay, Joe
A-where you goin' with that gun a-yo's?
Hey-ay, Joe
I said, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
All-right
I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messin' 'round wit' another man
Yeah!
I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messin' around wit' another man
Huh! An' that ain't too, cool
A-hey-ay, Joe
I heard you shot your woman down
You shot her down, down
Hey-ay, Joe
I heard you shot your old lady down
Shot her down in the ground (down)
Yeah!
Yes I did, I shot her
You know I caught her messin' 'round, messin' 'round town
A-yes I did, I shot her
You know I shot my old lady messin' 'round town
And then I gave her the gun!
I shot her!
