Joe Hill

I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night

Alive as you or me

Says I, "But Joe, you're ten years dead"

"I never died," says he

"I never died," says he

"In Salt Lake, Joe," says I to him

Him standing by my bed

"They framed you on a murder charge"

Says Joe, "But I ain't dead"

Says Joe, "But I ain't dead"

"The copper bosses killed you, Joe

They shot you, Joe," says I

"Takes more than guns to kill a man"

Says Joe, "I didn't die"

Says Joe, "I didn't die"

And standing there as big as life

And smiling with his eyes

Joe says, "What they forgot tokill

Went on to organize

Went on to organize"

"Joe Hill ain't dead," he says to me

"Joe Hill ain't never died

Where working men are out on strike

Joe Hill is at their side

Joe Hill is at their side"

"From San Diego up to Maine

In every mine and mill

Where workers strike and organize"

Says he, "you'll find Joe Hill"

Says he, "you'll find Joe Hill"

I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night

Alive as you or me

Says I, "But Joe, you're ten years dead"

"I never died," says he

"I never died," says he
