You know, I'm goin' downtown
and I'm gonna buy me a blue steel 44.

Well, I say, "Hey Joe,

Hey, hey Joe,

Well, alright.

I said, "Hey Joe,

I said, "Hey Joe,

He said, "I'm goin' downtown
and I'm gonna get me a passport, see?"

And there ain't no hang-man

gonna put no noose around me,
just 'cause I shot her down.
