Joe Hill
I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night
Alive as you or me
Says I, "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
"I never died," says he
"I never died," says he
"In Salt Lake, Joe," says I to him
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"
"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"
And standing there as big as life
And smiling with his eyes
Joe says, "What they forgot tokill
Went on to organize
Went on to organize"
"Joe Hill ain't dead," he says to me
"Joe Hill ain't never died
Where working men are out on strike
Joe Hill is at their side
Joe Hill is at their side"
"From San Diego 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 or me
Says I, "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
"I never died," says he
"I never died," says he
Joe Hill
Soñé que vi a Joe Hill anoche
Vivo como tú o como yo
Digo, 'Pero Joe, tienes diez años muerto'
'Nunca morí', dice él
'Nunca morí', dice él
'En Salt Lake, Joe', le digo a él
Él parado junto a mi cama
'Te incriminaron por un cargo de asesinato'
Dice Joe, 'Pero no estoy muerto'
Dice Joe, 'Pero no estoy muerto'
'Los jefes de cobre te mataron, Joe
Te dispararon, Joe', le digo yo
'Hace falta más que armas para matar a un hombre'
Dice Joe, 'No morí'
Dice Joe, 'No morí'
Y allí de pie tan grande como la vida
Y sonriendo con sus ojos
Joe dice, 'Lo que olvidaron matar
Siguió organizando
Siguió organizando'
'Joe Hill no está muerto', me dice
'Joe Hill nunca murió'
Donde los trabajadores están en huelga
Joe Hill está a su lado
Joe Hill está a su lado'
'De San Diego hasta Maine
En cada mina y fábrica
Donde los trabajadores hacen huelga y se organizan'
Dice él, 'encontrarás a Joe Hill'
Dice él, 'encontrarás a Joe Hill'
Soñé que vi a Joe Hill anoche
Vivo como tú o como yo
Digo, 'Pero Joe, tienes diez años muerto'
'Nunca morí', dice él
'Nunca morí', dice él
