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"

Standing there as big as life
And smiling with his eyes
Joe says, "What they could never kill
"Went on to organize!"

"Went on to organize!"

"From San Diego, up to Maine
"In every mine and mill
"When workers fight and organize
"It's there you'll find Joe Hill"

"It's there you'll find 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
