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
"In Salt Lake, Joe, great god" says I "I'm 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"
"The Copper Bosses framed 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"
And standing there as big as life and smiling with his eyes. Says He "What they forgot to kill went on to organize, went on to organize"
From San Diego on up to Maine in every mine and mill, Where workers strike and organize Says He "You'll find Joe Hill" Says He "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" said he "I never died" said he Joe Hill - Utah Phillips (1983)
