Justice for Joe

I thought of this story, while driving to work and listening to the song "Hey Joe" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, although the song was actually a cover version. The original song was by a band called The Leaves. The lyrics of the song essentially became the plot for this story. A man named Joe catches his wife messing around with another man and shoots her. He then escapes into Mexico to get away from the law.

"Hey Joe" Lyrics

Hey Joe, a-where you goin' with that gun in your hand
Hey Joe, I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand, oh yeah

I'm going down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messin' around with another man, yeah
I'm going down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messin' around with another man, huh
And that ain't too cool, brother

Hey Joe, I heard you shot your woman down,
You shot her down, now
Hey Joe, I heard you shot your 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
Yes I did, I shot her
You know I caught my old lady messin' around town
And I gave her the gun I SHOT HER!

Alright, shoot her one more time again for me

Yeah, Ohhh dig it, Ah, Ah Alright

Hey Joe, say now where you gonna run to now?
Where you gonna run to?
Hey Joe, I said where you gonna run to now?
Where you, where you gonna go?

Well, dig it
I'm goin' way down south,
Way down to Mexico way, Alright
I'm goin' way down south,
Way down where I can be free
Ain't no one gonna find me

Ain't no hangman gonna,
He ain't gonna put a rope around me
You better believe it right now
I gotta go now

Hey, Hey Joe, you better run on down

Goodbye everybody ohh

Hey Joe, uhh
Run on down
