Paul Robeson — 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 "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" "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" And standing there as big as life And smiling with his eyes Says Joe "What they could never kill Went on to organize Went on to organize" From San Diego up to Maine In every mine and mill Where workers defend their rights It's there you find Joe Hill It's there you 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
