It's not by Hendrix.
From the Wikipedia page on Hey Joe:
While claimed by the late Tim Rose
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Rose> to be a traditional song
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_music>,^<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hey_Joe#cite_note-tim-8>
or often erroneously attributed to the pen of American musician
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musician> Dino Valenti
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chet_Powers> (who also went by the names
Chester or Chet Powers, and Jesse Farrow), "Hey Joe" was registered for
copyright <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright> in the U.S. in 1962
by Billy Roberts
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Roberts>.^<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hey_Joe#cite_note-franzen-5>
Scottish folk singer Len Partridge has claimed that he helped write the
song with Roberts when they both performed in clubs in Edinburgh in
1956.^<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hey_Joe#cite_note-9> Other sources
(including singer Pat Craig), claim that Roberts assigned the rights to
the song to his friend Valenti while Valenti was in jail, in order to
give him some income upon
release.^<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hey_Joe#cite_note-franzen-5>
^<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hey_Joe#cite_note-fifth-10>
Best,
