Otis Taylor - Hey Joe - Rare Photos

Hendrix hated playing this song. The fans always asked for it and he had gotten sick of playing it. This is a good version.

Thank you my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing the music of Otis Taylor performing Hey Joe written by Billy Roberts with photographs from the 1970s I believe.

Original Billy Roberts Lyrics
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that money in our hand?
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that money in your hand?
Chasin' my woman, she run off with another man.

Goin' downtown, buy me a Forty Four.
Goin' downtown, buy me a Forty Four.
When I get through that woman won't run no more.

Hey Joe, what you gonna do?
Hey Joe, what you gonado?
Take my pistol, and kill her before I'm through>

Hey Joe, I heard you shot you woman dead.
Hey Joe, I heard you hot your woman dead.
Yes I did, got both of them lying in that bed.

Hey Joe, where do you think you'll go?
Hey Joe, do you think you'll go?

Leaving here think I'll go to Mexico.

Yes I'm going, going where a man can be free.
Yes I'm going, going where a man can be free.
'Cause there ain't no hangman puttin' no noose on me."
