Paddy Reilly - Joe Hill

Paddy Reilly singing Joe Hill, from his album, Paddy Reilly At Home, 1974.

I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
Alive as you and me
Said I, "But Joe, you're ten years dead,"
"I never died," said he.
"I never died," said he.

"from Salt Lake, Joe," said I,
Him standing by my bed,
"They framed you on a murder charge,"
Says Joe, "But I never dead,"
Says Joe, "But I never dead."

"The copper bosses shot you, Joe,
They filled you, full of lead,"
"Takes more than guns to kill a man,"
Says Joe, "and I ain't die,"
Says Joe, "and I ain't die."

And standing there as big as life
him smiling with his eyes
Says Joe, "What they forgot to 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.
