Joe Hill

Joe Hill
for all fans of Joan Baez

I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
alive as you and me.
Says I But Joe, youre 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 didnt die
Says Joe I didnt die
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 working-men defend there rights,
its there you find Joe Hill,
its there you find Joe Hill!
I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
alive as you and me.
Says I But Joe, youre ten years dead
I never died said he ,
I never died said he.
(no war and no cry)
