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, 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

In salt lake city, Joe, says I
Him standing by my bed
They framed you on a murder charge
Says Joe: But I ain't dead
Says Joe: But I ain't dead

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 workers fight and organize
It's there you find Joe Hill
It's there you 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, said he
I never died, said he
