Joe Hill

I dreamed, I saw Joe Hill last night

Alive as you and me

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

"I never died" says he

"I never died" says he

"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

Says Joe "What they can never kill

Went on to organize

Went on to organize"

From San Diego up to Maine

In every mine and mill

Where working folks defend their rights

It's there you find Joe Hill

It's there you find Joe Hill

I dreamed I saw, I dreamed I saw, Joe Hill last night

Alive as you and me

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

"I never died" says he, "I never died" says he

"I never died" says he"
