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" said he,
"I never died" said he.
"The Copper Bosses killed you Joe,
They shot you Joe" says I.
"The guns can never 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.
Says Joe "What they could 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 and me.
Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
"I never died" said he,
"I never died" said he.
