Amazing “Hey Joe” cover by Christone Ingram

ByEditor

Jimi Hendrix’s Hey Joe cover by Christone “Kingfish” Ingram.

What an awesome tribute and dude is mad talented. The whole band was phenomenal with the switches and rhythm changes. That eye contact and knowing your band mates is crucial when trying to switch mid-song or end a song on the right measure. Everyone who’s played in a band knows that look he gave the bassist and drummer.

A band at a club where you can ACTUALLY hear all the instruments! And a guitar solo that IS NOT a technique catalogue.

Lyrics:
Hey Joe, where you goin’ with that gun of your hand?
Hey Joe, I said, where you goin’ with that gun in your hand? Oh
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

Hey Joe, I heard you shot your mama down
You shot her down now
Hey Joe, I heard you shot your lady down
Shot her down in the ground, yeah
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’ ’round town
And I gave her the gun
I shot her

Alright
Shoot her one more time again, baby
Yeah
Oh, dig it
Ah, alright

Hey, Joe
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
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 right now
I gotta go now

Hey, Joe
You better run on down
Goodbye, everybody, ow
Hey, hey, Joe
