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" says he
"I never died" says 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"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 folks defend their rights
It's there you find Joe Hill
It's there you find Joe HillI dreamed I saw, 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
"I never died" says he"

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
