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.
"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"
"In Salt Lake City, Joe," says I,
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."
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 their rights,
it's there you'll find Joe Hill,
it's there 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.

Review about Joe Hill Thanks for Singing Joe Hill in Bayfield, Joan! | Reviewer: AnotherWob | 8/12/09
One of my earliest memories is of folks coming to my parents house on a weekend evening, bringing guitars and mandolins and banjos. They'd sing Joe Hill, Solidarity Forever (all the verses!) and so many songs that I love. They shaped my life - friends and songs. Thanks for keeping the songs alive, Joan!
There is Joe Hill the labor organizer, murdered in Utah in 1915 and then there's Joseph Hill of the Reggae band Culture - a much more contemporary figure!
Thank you for the lyrics of this very memorable song.
This song has been with me a lifetime. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/26/07
In the 1960's I found this song in an old song book in a high school study hall/library in southeast Dallas County, TX, and hand copied it. I had never heard it before, but I picked out the melody on my guitar as best I could. When I heard Joan Baez sing it in the early '70's, I was truly moved.
you have done a good job | Reviewer: eminem | 6/4/07
