"Where working folks defend their rights
  It's there you'll find Joe Hill...
Alive as you and me."

(and turn it ALL the way up!!!)

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.

"The Copper Bosses killed you Joe,
they shot you Joe" says I.
"It 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 can never kill
went on to organize,
went on to organize."

 From Crawford, Texas up to Washington  (San Diego up to Maine,)
in every mine and mill,
where workin'-folks 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 or me.
Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
"I never died" says he,
"I never died" says he.
