Joe Hill

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", said he
"I never died", said he

"The copper bosses killed you, Joe
They shot you Joe", said I
"Takes more than guns to kill a man"
Says Joe: "I did not die"
Says Joe: "I did not die"

Standing there as big as life
And a-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 an' mill
Where working men defend their rights,"
It say: "You'll find Joe Hill
It's there you'll find Joe Hill
It's there you'll find Joe
Joe Hill, Joe Hill"

Joe Hill

Soñé que vi a Joe Hill anoche
Vivo como tú o como yo
Digo: 'Pero Joe, tienes diez años muerto'
'Nunca morí', dijo él
'Nunca morí', dijo él

'Los jefes de cobre te mataron, Joe
Te dispararon, Joe', dije yo
'Hace falta más que armas para matar a un hombre'
Dice Joe: 'No morí'
Dice Joe: 'No morí'

Parado allí tan grande como la vida
Y sonriendo con sus ojos
Dice Joe: 'Lo que nunca pueden matar'
Continuó organizando
Continuó organizando'

'Desde San Diego hasta Maine,
En cada mina y fábrica
Donde los trabajadores defienden sus derechos,'
Dice: 'Encontrarás a Joe Hill
Es ahí donde encontrarás a Joe Hill
Es ahí donde encontrarás a Joe
Joe Hill, Joe Hill'
