1st verse (Oo-backing vocals on each line)
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe, I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Alright. I'm goin down to shoot my old lady,
you know I caught her messin' 'round with another man.
Yeah,! I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady,
you know I caught her messin' 'round with another man.
Huh! And that ain't too cool.
2nd verse (Ah. -backing vocal on each line)
Uh, hey Joe, I heard you shot your woman down,
you shot her down.
Uh, hey Joe, I heard you shot you old lady down,
you shot her down to the ground. Yeah!
Yes, I did, I shot her,
you know I caught her messin' 'round,
messin' 'round town.
Uh, yes I did, I shot her
you know I caught my old lady messin' 'round town.
And I gave her the gun and I shot her!
Alright
(Ah! Hey Joe)
Shoot her one more time again, baby!
(Oo)
Yeah.
(Hey Joe!)
Ah, dig it!
(Hey)
Ah! Ah!
(Joe where you gonna go?)
Oh, alright.
3rd verse
Hey Joe, said now,
(Hey)

Yeah.
(where you gonna go?)
Hey Joe, I said,
(Hey)

to now, where you, where you gonna go?
(Joe!)
Well, dig it!
I'm goin' way down south, way down south,
(Hey)
way down south to Mexico way! Alright!
(Joe)
I'm goin' way down south,
(Hey, Joe)
way down where I can be free!

Goodbye everybody. Ow!

YES! Who could forget this song? THough Hendrix didn't write Hey Joe, he still kicks ass on it. I let Ariel listen to it, and she was amazed by his skills. Hendrix is an unbeatable legend that lives forever | 31-05-2005 19:37 pernillawestman |  62 posts

| iv never actually heard the original.
there are many talented musicians out there
but who can deny hendrix is the king, if not for his musical talent then for his legend and persona ( although you must give credit to artists like robert johnson, clearly and inspiration to hendrix and many other artists that followed) | 27-12-2005 12:53 armpit456 |  5 posts
