Luke Kelly - Joe Hill lyrics

rate me

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.'

Joe Hill ain't dead, he says to me

Joe Hill ain't never died

Where working man are out on strike

Joe Hill is at their side

Joe Hill is at their side.

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.
