I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night Songtext

Joe Hill
Joan Baez

I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night Alive As You and Me.
Said I, "But Joe, You′re Ten Years Dead",
"I Never Died", Said He.
"I Never Died", Said He.


"In Salt Lake, Joe", I Said to Him Standing By My Bed,
"They Framed You On a Murder Charge."
Says Joe: "But I Ain't Dead!"

"The Cooper Bosses Shot You, Joe, They Killed You, Joe", Says I.
"Takes More Than Guns to Kill a Man", Says Joe, "I Didn′t Die!"

And Standing There As Big As Life and Smiling With His Eyes,
Joe Says: "What They Could Never Kill Went On to Organize."

"Joe Hill Ain't Dead", He Says to Me, "Joe Hill Ain't Never Died,
When Workers Strike and Organize Joe Hill Is By Their Side."

From San Diego Up to Maine in Every Mine and Mill,
Where Workers Stand Up For Their Rights,
It′s There You′ll Find Joe Hill.
