I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
Alive as you or me
Says I, But Joe, youre 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 aint 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 didnt die."
And standing there as big as life
And smiling with his eyes
Says Joe, "What they forgot to kill
Went on to organize,
Went on to organize."
"Joe Hill aint dead, he says to me,
Joe Hill aint 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 working men defend their rights
Its there you'll find Joe Hill.I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
Alive as you or me
Says I, "But Joe, you are ten years dead,
I never died, says he.
I never died, says he.
