Pete Seeger - Joe Hill lyrics

[Pete Seeger - Joe Hill lyrics]

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" said he
"I never died" said he

"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"
"In Salt Lake City, Joe" says I
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"

And standing there as big as life
And 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 and mill
Where working men defend their rights
It's there you find Joe Hill
It's there you find Joe Hill!

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" said he
"I never died" said he
