Joe hill

I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night
Alive as you or me
Says I, "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
"I never died," says he
"I never died," says he

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

"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
Joe says, "What they forgot tokill
Went on to organize
Went on to organize"

"Joe Hill ain't dead," he says to me
"Joe Hill ain't never died
Where working men are 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 workers strike and organize"
Says he, "you'll find Joe Hill"
Says he, "you'll find Joe Hill"

I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night
Alive as you or me
Says I, "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
"I never died," says he
"I never died," says he
