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
In Salt Lake Joe says I
Him standing by my side
"They framed you on a murder charge"
Says Joe "I never died"
Says Joe "I never died "
The copper bosses they shot you Joe
They filled you full of lead
"Takes more than guns to kill a man"
Says Joe "And I ain't dead"
Says Joe "And I ain't dead "
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 "
In San Diego up to Maine
In every mine and mill
Where working men defend 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
Says I But Joe you're ten years dead
I never died says he
I never died says he
