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,` says he
`I never died,` says he

`In Salt Lake, Joe,` says I to him
Him standing by my bed
`They framed you on a murder charge`
Says Joe, `But I ain`t dead`
Says Joe, `But I ain`t dead`

`The copper bosses killed you, Joe
They shot 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 forgot tokill
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 men are out on strike
Joe Hill is at their side
Joe Hill is at their side`

`From San Diego up to Maine
In every mine and mill
Where workers strike and organize`
Says he, `you`ll find Joe Hill`
Says he, `you`ll find Joe Hill`

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,` says he
`I never died,` says he
