"Joe Hill" lyrics

"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'll never die," said he
"Oh no, I'll never die," said 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"

"In Salt Lake City, Joe," says I
Him standing by my bed
"They framed you on a murder charge"
Says Joe, "But I ain't dead"

I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night
Alive as you and me
Says I, "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
"I'll never die," said he
"I'll never die," said he

And standing there as big as life
And smiling with his eyes
Says Joe, "What they can never kill
Went on to organize"

From San Diego up to Maine
In every mine and mill
Where working men defend their rights
It's there, you'll find Joe Hill

Oh, I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night
Alive as you and me
Says I, "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
"I'll never die," said he
I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night
Alive as you and me
Says I, "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
"I'll never die," said he
"I'll never die," said he
