Scott Walker - Joe Hill Lyrics






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", said he
"I never died", said he

"The copper bosses killed you, Joe
They shot you Joe", said I
"Takes more than guns to kill a man"
Says Joe: "I did not die"
Says Joe: "I did not die"

Standing there as big as life
And a-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 an' mill
Where working men defend their rights,"
It say: "You'll find Joe Hill
It's there you'll find Joe Hill
It's there you'll find Joe
Joe Hill, Joe Hill"

    This was a big campfire song at my hippie summer camp in the late '60s. So sad that America chose to follow the path of greed and perpetual war instead of freedom and equality.
