I dreamed I saw Joe Hill
last night alive as you and me.
Said I, But Joe, you're ten years dead
I never died, said he.
I never died, said he.
The Cooper Bosses shot you,
Joe, they killed you, Joe, says I.
Takes more than guns 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,
Joe says
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 workers stand up for 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.
Said I, But Joe, you're ten years dead,
I never died, said he.
I never died, said he.
