Lyrics

[00:00.000] I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
[00:07.000] alive as you and me.
[00:13.000] Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
[00:20.000] "I never died" said he,
[00:25.000] "I never died" said he.
[00:33.000] "In Salt Lake City, Joe" says I,
[00:39.000] Him standing by my bed,
[00:43.000] "They framed you on a murder charge,"
[00:48.000] Says Joe, "But I ain't dead"
[00:52.000] Says Joe, "But I ain't dead."
[00:58.000] "The Copper Bosses killed you Joe,
[01:04.000] they shot you Joe" says I.
[01:09.000] "Takes more than guns to kill a man"
[01:13.000] Says Joe "I didn't die"
[01:19.000] Says Joe "I didn't die"
[01:25.000] And standing there as big as life
[01:31.000] and smiling with his eyes.
[01:36.000] Says Joe "What they can never kill
[01:42.000] went on to organize,
[01:46.000] went on to organize"
[01:53.000] I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
[02:00.000] alive as you and me.
[02:06.000] Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
[02:12.000] "I never died" said he,
[02:19.000] "I never died" said he.
