Arlo Guthrie - Joe Hill Lyrics

*don't mourn, organize*

10 10 10

And now the workers are united. And they are supporting the totalitarian democrat kooks in government who want to eliminate our jobs, shut us up, buy us off, and usher in a global communist government with them, the rich elites, in charge.

Sounds like a sycophant for the current administration!

Great song. Too bad Joe was guilty as hell. That's why Wallace Stegner stopped singing this song.

Democrats and republicans are all bought and paid for pieces of shit. 2020 everyone should vote third party.

A remake of one of Joe's songs....

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.
"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"
"In Salt Lake City, Joe, " says I,
Him 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."
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 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" said he,
"I never died" said he

No war but class war.

The Baton Hass passed many hands, Pete was one of them as was Phil Ochs..Workers Unite..

I love listening to Great songs like is and I love it

I like the way Paul Robeson changes "You gets a little drunk and you lands in jail" to "You show some grit and you land in jail" and the rest of the variations on "Old Man River"

全世界无产者，联合起来！

#243,446 . Way to go Missouri on this date, Joe Hill Lives.
kk was here #243,446

Workers of the world, unite! Hello from Russia!

Un exemple à suivre pour tous les insoumis du monde.

BREAK THE CHAINS

"Takes more than guns to kill a man."

Революция! Анархия! Нестор Махно!

Victory to the working class. I respect Joe Hill

It's funny because the commenters don't seem to understand that Joe would have shot a socialist or communist on sight. I believe his quote was "kill the bastards". Eisenhower adopted it from him. Joe was about being able to go to work on time, work as hard as you could, and not have to worry about being paid, because it was already handled, and fair. Something lacking today in the foreign business owners in America. Just ask the local Shell.

What the hell are you talking about? He was a wobblie, almost certainly a Socialist sympathizer if not Socialist himself. If he "would have shot socialists on sight," he would have shot a bunch of IWW members, since they were largely Socialist.

Also, he wasn't about "showing up on time, working as hard as he could, and not worrying about getting paid," he was about organizing labor unions and fighting against bosses, who blacklisted him from getting work. Maybe you're confusing him with John Cuckold

@Harold Johnson Guess what Harold, methinks you are respnding to a classic KGB/GRU troll,that post is really way out there on RIGHT field!

I am a Japanese who loves Pete & Joe.

you know of any Japanese singers like pete seeger? im trying to learn Japanese

@Bill Overbeck Do'nt kill russian smokers, they would catch you without a tongue

Don't mourn, organize!

Hasta la victoria siempre. Joe Hill lives while we remember!

101 years strong

Joe Hill, a [s]inger who tried to be good following the teachings of Peter Singer, in a ballad sung by Peter Seeger. This is not a coincidence because nothing is ever a coincidence.

Awesome visuals to go with a classic Socialist protest song. As for the 12 thumbs down? Clearly 12 fascist strike breakers.

Well done, good visual to go with song!

You filthy cultural marxists are trying to usurp the legacy of a great man, a great Swede, a white working class hero.
Don't touch him filth. He did not fight for you pinko gays or minority rights, he fought for the white working class!

+PratRisk88 You are mistaken, sir. Scandinavians are known for their lack of racial prejudice. He was a great Swede---you got that right anyway.

are you seriously, honest to God, trying to claim that an avowed member of a union that was the first integrated union of its time was a militant white supremacist?

Bite the barrel of a loaded gun and pull the goddamn trigger, you deluded cretin. Joe Hill didn't give a damn what color you were or what you did in the sheets, if you were a worker, he marched alongside you, sang with you, and fought for you. Get the fuck out of here and go back to where all racists and fascists belong: the dustbin of history!

PratRisk88 He fought for the working class the working people not for a race or gender. He fought for the whole of the working class. Immigrants from the east, blacks, women workers. He wasn't fighting for "white supremacy" he was fighting for the labour movement, the very movement that stands against your fascist ideologies

PratRisk88 he was a Wobbly you fucking twonk, and very left.

Here's the story of Joe Hill!

He was executed 100 years ago, supposedly for 2 murders, but we know he was killed for being a great organizer of workers!
Does anyone know if Pete Seeger wrote the song?

+sherrie miranda No Pete did not, but Google that, it is much more interesting story!

Here in Brazil I salute the struggle of all workers of the world. Viva Joe Hill !!

+Ricardo Moreno Here in Sweden I do the same.

+Niklas Groop 'Workers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your chains, you have a world to win'. Solidarity from somewhere in the UK.

Now here in Brazil we fight against the extreme right who wants to illegally overthrow the government of the Workers Party (PT).

Пролетарии всех стран, соединяйтесь!

The Copper Bosses killed you, Joe :
= Utah Copper Company.
Now known as: Kennecott Utah Copper Corporation (KUCC), a division of Rio Tinto Group, is a mining, smelting, and refining company. Its corporate headquarters are located in South Jordan, Utah, The company was first formed in 1898 as the Boston Consolidated Mining Company.

Rio Tinto Group has been friend of dictators around the world since the begining...

A great song! Immortal Joe Hill!

and sometimes a gun can't kill a man, like when the angels reach down and stop those bullets

And you are a snark because?

Klassekampen fortsetter!

ORGANIZE!

It takes more than guns to kill a man!

+Daniel Ryan Ideas are bulletproof.

Mason Cathers
V for Vendetta, great book and film and such a true statement from V.

R.I.P. Pete Seeger

RIP. And thank you.

by Earl Robinson and Al Hayes, Pete Seeger's good friends.

I loved this Guy's singing a true socialist mind and a great singer just like his "brother in law" Ewan McColl

Thank you for all you did - you will never die!

We'll miss you Pete.

Ciao Pete, we have tears, but  you'll never die as well

Who can pick up that banjo?

One of my favorites. A song memorializing one icon from another. RIP, Pete Seeger

R.I.P. Pete, but I guess even you will never die

Workers of the World unite

The song made me cry.

I saw John Galt last night and he turned ideology on its head.

Shut up

Try the great Scott Walker's version.

It might be Ronnie Gilbert. All of the Weavers were Almanacs at some time. (I think I can hear Lee Hays in the chorus.)

I wonder who the woman is singing behind him.

Probably his sister Peggy or Ronnie.

Pete always sings the truth!

You're right - I'm realizing that more and more as time goes by.

The whole system is fucked, not just one party

yeah romneys shit too lol i see what youre saying now,i must have been drinking rye whiskey if you know that pete seeger song too :D

I hate both parties and would never vote in Obama either. Romney's not much better though. My original comment was basically to say that the republicans , being anti-union / anti Social Security and Medicare, are so anti-middle class/pro millionaires, that Obama ( unfortunately) will easily be re-elected. Romney won the nomination because the others running with him were a bunch on extremist lunatics ( Michelle Bachman, Herman Caine, Newt Gingrich - typical republicans)

im a democrat and would never vote in obama lol, just to show you im not an "evil anti-america R"

No, I'm really that smart, you moron. LOL

you're really that stupid aren't you lol

Yes, the poor are suffering anyway in this vile society. Capitalists and their pundits don't give a damn about them, or us (I have a minimum wage job but I'm not poverty stricken) To them, we are nothing except our ability to labour for them to extract profits from and to discard when it's convenient for them. The world I envision is most people (if they want) in a job making stuff for human need, not for profit. Much less working hours too, as goods & services are liberated from profit motive.

All the fascists are bound to LOSE.. maybe not tomorrow, but that's the great contradiction of capitalism, it results in corporatism and monopolies and the people will eventually WIN. Capitalism: an epic failure in terms of societal organisation, it benefits the rich only. There's more of US than THEM malevolent, disgusting parasitic psychopaths..

Great song, anyway! So, joleneratts, you'd hand over the White House to Mittens and Mr.Pants on Fire and Congress to the Teapublicans to spite Obama for not being more progressive? Somehow, I don't think that would be very progressive (-;

Fuck capitalism.. long live freedom!

somone told me a saying they recently seen "if in 2008 you voted for obama to prove you wern't racist, then in 2012 vote against him to prove that you are not an idiot"
'

herd them sheep boys...nwo is not far we got them beat down..my ---

both parties screw the working person.

Can only hope. Damn, I'm the son and grandson of Teamsters for fucks sake and if a union vote came up where I work I'm sure it would not pass

the sad thing is we're doomed!

republicrats*

fuck the middle class and your reformism! none of you white, privileged fucks will ever know the struggles of the working man! damn obama! damn the reblucrats! damn capitalism! without us to build your cars, make your clothes, pave your pristine roads, build your schools, computers and houses you and the upper class would be NOTHING!

Amen, brother.

We don’t have four more years for more of the same!

Mr. Obama is no friend, what with his bailouts, crony capitalism and odious "defense bill"

@Pumper4 And will be in New Hampshire tomorrow, hopefully.

Eye Double U Double U !!!!! O.B.U.

And please remember, don't mourn, ORGANIZE!

Workers of all countries, unite! Joe Hill is alive and well!

wonderfull!!

joe should have stayed in sweden, we built a humanitarian society here at last

@LODGE4444 Are there no 'Working Class' Americans anymore?

Joe Hill was in South London yesterday. I had a drink with him.

There is Power in a Union, by Philip Dray should be a mandatory read in all schools.

Why anyone votes for the Dems or Rep I have no idea. Republicrates for there is no differences between the two parties. Joe Hill sure as hell wound't give a crap for either party. Wake up vote third party.

Youtube's Promoted Video suggested for this video is a gross pro-capitalist screed.

@Cat09us The Democrats are just as anti-worker as the GOP

Joe Hill is alive and on the Verizon picket lines.

@PlasticJesus341 Yes I remember the bailouts but obviously YOU don't remember that it was G.W. Bush who STARTED the bailouts months before he left office. Republicans like you always try to re-write history.

@PlasticJesus341 No, I don't realize that at all. Everyone on television saying that they want to cut social services is a republican.

"Where Working men defend their rights that's where you'll find Joe Hill"
thanks always Pete.!

Where working men go out on strike, Joe Hill is at their side.

@94lukepl that's a different song called Joe Hill. This was written a few years before phil ochs was born
