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. In Salt Lake, 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 organize' 'Went on to organize.' Joe Hill ain't dead, he says to me Joe Hill ain't never died Where working man are out on strike Joe Hill is at their side Joe Hill is at their side. In 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 and me Says I, But Joe, you're ten years dead I never died, says he I never died, says he. --- Joe Hill - The Dubliners
