[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
In Salt Lake City, Joe says I
In 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"

[Verse 3]
"The Copper Bosses killed you Joe
They shot you, Joe" says I
"Takes more than guns to kill a man"
Says Joe "I did not die"
Says Joe "I did not die"

[Verse 4]
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"
[Verse 5]
Joe Hill ain't dead, he says to me
Joe Hill ain't never died
Where working men are out on strike
Joe Hill is at their side

From San Diego up to Maine
In every mine and mill
Where workers strike and organize
Says he, "You'll find Joe Hill."
Says he, "You'll find Joe Hill."

[Verse 6]
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
