 years dead"
            
"I never died,

"In Salt Lake,

says I,
             
Him standing b

     
y my bed,
             
"They framed y

        
ou on a murder

 charge."
            
Says Joe, "But

         
 I ain't dead,

"
              
Says Joe, "But

         
 I ain't dead.

"


     
"The copper bo

sses shot you 

Joe,
             
They killed yo

.
             
"Takes more th

           
an guns to kil

l a man,"
            
Says Joe, "I d

      
idn't die."
              
Says Joe, "I d

Standing there

e,
             
Smiling with h

   
is eyes.
             
Joe says, "Wha

to kill"
            
Went on to org

 
anize,
              
Went on to org

 
anize!"


 
"Joe Hill ain'

t dead," he sa

ys to me
             
"Joe Hill ain'

        
t never died."
             
Where working 

       
men go 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 working 

       
men go out on 

strike
            
Says he "You'l

          
l find Joe Hil

l,"
              
Says he "You'l

          
l find Joe Hil

l."
