I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
\nAlive as you and me.
\nSays I, But Joe, you’re ten years dead.
\nI never died, said he,
\nI never died, said he.<\/p>\n

In Salt Lake, Joe, says I to him,
\nhim standing by my bed,
\nThey framed you on a murder charge,
\nSays Joe, But I ain’t dead,
\nSays Joe, But I ain’t dead.<\/p>\n

The Copper Bosses killed you Joe,
\nthey shot you Joe, says I.
\nTakes more than guns to kill a man,
\nSays Joe, I didn’t die.
\nSays Joe, I didn’t die.<\/p>\n

And standing there as big as life
\nand smiling with his eyes,
\nSays Joe, What they can never kill
\nwent on to organize,
\nwent on to organize.<\/p>\n

From San Diego up to Maine,
\nin every mine and mill,
\nwhere working-men defend their rights,
\nit’s there you find Joe Hill,
\nit’s there you find Joe Hill!<\/p>\n

I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
\nalive as you and me.
\nSays I, But Joe, you’re ten years dead
\nI never died said he,
\nI never died said he.<\/p>\n
