Joe Hill Lyrics

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

'In Salt-Lake city, Joe', says I, him standing by my side
'They framed you on a murder charge'
Says Joe: 'I never died'
Says Joe: 'I never died'

'The copper bosses they shot you', Joe
'They filled you full of lead'
'Takes more than guns to kill a man'
Says Joe: 'And I ain't dead'
Says Joe: 'And I ain't dead'

And standing there as big as life and smiling with his eyes
Says Joe: ' What they forgot to kill'
Went on to organise
Went on to organise'

In San Diego up to Maine, in every mine and mill
Where working me ndefend their rights
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
