Woodstock movie - Joe Hill lyrics

rate me

I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,<br>

alive as you and me.<br>

Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"<br>

"I never died" said he,<br>

"I never died" said he.<br>

<br>

"The Copper Bosses killed you Joe,<br>

they shot you Joe" says I.<br>

"Takes more than guns to kill a man"<br>

Says Joe "I didn't die"<br>

Says Joe "I didn't die"<br>

<br>

"In Salt Lake City, Joe," says I,<br>

Him standing by my bed,<br>

"They framed you on a murder charge,"<br>

Says Joe, "But I ain't dead,"<br>

Says Joe, "But I ain't dead."<br>

<br>

And standing there as big as life<br>

and smiling with his eyes.<br>

Says Joe "What they can never kill<br>

went on to organize,<br>

went on to organize"<br>

<br>

From San Diego up to Maine,<br>

in every mine and mill,<br>

Where working men defend their rights,<br>

it's there you'll find Joe Hill,<br>

it's there you'll find Joe Hill!<br>

<br>

I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,<br>

alive as you and me.<br>

Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"<br>

"I never died" said he,<br>

"I never died" said he.<br>

<br>
