I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night

[Verse 1]

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" says he

"I never died" says he

[Verse 2]

In Salt Lake City, Joe says I

In 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"

[Verse 3]

"The Copper Bosses killed you Joe

They shot you, Joe" says I

"Takes more than guns to kill a man"

Says Joe "I did not die"

Says Joe "I did not die"

[Verse 4]

And standing there as big as life

And smiling with his eyes

Says Joe "What they forgot to kill

Went on to organize

Went on to organize"

[Verse 5]

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

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."

[Verse 6]

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" says he
