[Verse]
I dreamed I sa
w Joe Hill las
t night,
Alive as you a
nd me.
Says I, "But J
oe, you're ten
years dead"
"I never died,
" says he,
"I never died,
" says he.
"In Salt Lake,
Joe," by god
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
u Joe," says I
.
"Takes more th
an guns to kil
l a man,"
Says Joe, "I d
idn't die."
Says Joe, "I d
idn't die."
Standing there
as big as lif
e,
Smiling with h
is eyes.
Joe says, "Wha
t they forgot
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."
I dreamed I sa
w Joe Hill las
t night,
Alive as you a
nd me.
Says I, "But J
oe, you're ten
years dead"
"I never died,
" says he,
"I never died,
" says he.
