Cher - Hey Joe Lyrics






Hey Joe, where you goin'
With that gun in your hand?
I said now
Hey Joe, where you goin'
With that gun in your hand?

Goin' down to shoot my old lady
'Cause you know
I caught her messin 'round town
I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady
'Cause I caught her messin' 'round
With another man

Hey Joe, I heard
You shot your woman down, shot her down
Hey I said, hey Joe I heard
You shot your woman down
Shot her down to the ground

Yes I did, I shot her
'Cause I caught her messin' 'round town
Hey Joe, I heard
You shot your woman down, shot her down
Well I said, oh hey Joe
I heard you shot your woman down
Shot her down, shot her down

Yes, yes I did, I shot her
'Cause I caught her messin' 'round town
Hey Joe, where you gonna run to now?
I said, I said hey Joe
Where you gonna run to now
Where you gonna go?
Well dude, I'm goin' down south
Way down to Mexico way
I said I'm goin' down south
Way down to Mexico way

Cher Hey Joe Comments
  1. M.... F....

    My favorite song. She can sure sing

  2. J.... W....

    worst ever

  3. Z.... r....

    Does anybody knows the musicians ?

  4. J.... D....

    I love Cher, but this song is not compatible with her voice.  Hard to believe it hit #94; a testament to Cher's popularity.

  5. S.... R....

    I don’t even know where to begin. It sounds as if this song is out of Cher’s vocal range, she’s straining. Her voice doesn’t lend itself to the bluesy, heat , like it lacks gravitas. The arrangement is wanting, it’s lackluster. You can have a low production ‘garagey’ sound, but that is not this. I guess l’m not feelin’ It, ‘cause maybe Cher wasn’t feelin’ it. And it’s not because it’s a female singing it. If you listen to Neila Miller, who wrote and sang the precursor to Hey Joe, Baby, Please Don’t Go To Town, she sounds hauntingly amazing. For me, the best slow version is Hendrix, best fast version, Love.

  6. G.... G....

    There was another version by a band called Fukdadukz which was addressed to Santa Claus but they changed the title to Hey Cunt where's the fuckin snow

  7. L.... M....

    I'm a big fan of Cher, but I have to admit that this is the most annoying recording I ever heard.

  8. A.... B....

    Not a fan. Jimi Hendrix is #1. Then goes Deep Purple. Their version with the organ intro is fantastic!

  9. M.... ....

    Her voice sounds so different

  10. c.... v....

    Next to the LEAVES, HEY JOE, which is # 1 in my book----CHER's Version of HEY JOE is # 2 ---not bad since over 1,ooo people recorded HEY JOE!

    c.... v....

    This version is better than many posters are claiming.

  11. V.... L....

    "Hey Joe" is an American popular song from the 1960s that has become a rock standard and as such has been performed in many musical styles by hundreds of different artists since it was first written. Diverse credits and claims have led to confusion as to the song's true authorship and genesis.The earliest known commercial recording of the song is the late-1965 single by the Los Angeles garage band the The Leaves.

  12. J.... M....

    That song belongs to Hendrix. Cher is awful!

    J.... M....

    How about "Hey Joe" interpreted by Patti Smith?

    J.... M....

    Many versions are great.

  13. D.... S....

    Couldn't stand listening to the whole thing.

    D.... S....

    She sounds stupid when I hear her say on interviews that she "doesn't like Cher", that she is not "a big fan of herself"? or her voice? So stupid so say that, How can she expect the public to like her if she doesn't like herself? So dumb !!

  14. J.... H....

    Almost as good as Jimi Hendrix Experience version, almost...but not quite, but still fab!

  15. B.... B....

    Possibly the worst version ever recorded.

    B.... B....

    I have always wondered why people consider Cher to be a singer.

    B.... B....

    @Richard Gray Because Cher has a wondeful and powerful voice
