From San Diego up to Maine
"The copper bosses killed you, Joe"
"They shot you Joe" says I
"Takes more than guns to kill a man"
And smiling with his eyes
In every mine and mill
Alive as you and me
And standing there, as big as life
Says Joe "I didn't die"
"I never died" says he, "I never died" says he
Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
It's there you find Joe Hill
Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
I dreamed I saw, I dreamed I saw, Joe Hill last night
Went on to organize
Says Joe "I didn't die"
"I never died" says he
Where working folks defend their rights
"I never died" says he
It's there you find Joe Hill
Says Joe "What they can never kill
Went on to organize"
