Joe Hill Lyrics - Singles - Dubliners

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', says he 

'I never died', says he. 

In Salt Lake, Joe, says I 

Him standing by my side 

'They framed you on a murder charge' 

Says Joe, 'I never died' 

Says Joe, 'I never died.' 

The copper bosses they shot you, Joe, 

They filled you full of lead 

'Takes more than guns to kill a man' 

Says Joe, 'And I ain't dead' 

Says Joe, 'And I ain't dead.' 

And standing there as big as life 

And smiling with his eyes 

Says Joe, 'What they forgot to kill' 

'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 man are out on strike 

Joe Hill is at their side 

Joe Hill is at their side. 

In 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, says he 

I never died, says he.
