Joe Hill
muzyka: Earl Robinson
1936
I [G] dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
as [C] live as you and [G] me,
Says [C] I, but Joe your [G] ten years dead,
I [D] never died says he,
I [D7]never died says [G] he
„In Salt Lake City, Joe,” said I,
Him standing by my bed,
„They framed you on a murder charge,”
Said Joe, „I never died.”
Said Joe, „But I ain’t dead.”
„The copper bosses killed you, Joe”
„They shot you up with lead
„Takes more than guns to kill a man”
Says Joe, and I ain’t dead
Says Joe, and I ain’t dead
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”
Joe Hill ain’t dead he said to me
Joe Hill ain’t never died,
Where working folk defend their rights,
Joe Hill is by their side,
Joe Hill is by their side.
From San Diego up to Maine
In every mine and mill
Where workers strike and organize
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” says he
„I never died” says he
