Joe Hill Lyrics
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", said he
"I never died", said he
"The copper bosses killed you, Joe
They shot you Joe", said I
"Takes more than guns to kill a man"
Says Joe: "I did not die"
Says Joe: "I did not die"
Standing there as big as life
And a-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 an' mill
Where working men defend their rights, "
It say: "You'll find Joe Hill
It's there you'll find Joe Hill
It's there you'll find Joe
Joe Hill, Joe Hill"
Alive as you or 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", said I
"Takes more than guns to kill a man"
Says Joe: "I did not die"
Says Joe: "I did not die"
Standing there as big as life
And a-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 an' mill
Where working men defend their rights, "
It say: "You'll find Joe Hill
It's there you'll find Joe Hill
It's there you'll find Joe
Joe Hill, Joe Hill"
