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 City, Joe you'd survived,
And standing by my side,
"They framed you on a murder charge,"
Says Joe, "But I never died,"
Says Joe, "But I never died."
"The copper bosses they killed you, Joe,
They shot you, Joe," says I.
"Takes more than guns to kill a man,"
Says Joe, "I ain't dead,"
Says Joe, "I ain't dead."
And standing there as big as life
And smiling with his eyes
Says Joe, "What they can never kill
Went on to organize,
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.
It's there 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.
And standing there as big as life
And smiling with his eyes
Says Joe, "What they can never kill
Went on to organize,
Went on to organize."
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.
