This is a rewrite of the Alfred Hayes/Earl Robinson song "Joe Hill" (popularized by Joan Baez and others). Phil Ochs was an American 1960s protest singer. If you aren't familiar with his work, check out "Draft Dodger Rag" and "Bound for Glory." I like his earlier works (mostly played solo acoustic) much better than his later, more produced songs. Phil Ochs committed suicide in 1976.
