Intro  

                                                                            
I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night, alive as you and me
                                  
Says I, But Joe, you are 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

                                                                              
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 man 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 are ten years dead
                                                          
I never died, says he.  I never died, says he
