Joe Hill

Joe Hill
Joan Baez

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.

"In Salt Lake, Joe", I Said to Him Standing By My Bed,
"They Framed You On a Murder Charge."
Says Joe: "But I Ain't Dead!" (2x)

"The Cooper Bosses Shot You, Joe, They Killed You, Joe", Says I.
"Takes More Than Guns to Kill a Man", Says Joe, "I Didn't Die!"

And Standing There As Big As Life and Smiling With His Eyes,
Joe Says: "What They Could Never Kill Went On to Organize."

"Joe Hill Ain't Dead", He Says to Me, "Joe Hill Ain't Never Died,
When Workers Strike and Organize Joe Hill Is By Their Side."

From San Diego Up to Maine in Every Mine and Mill,
Where Workers Stand Up For Their Rights,
It's There You'll Find Joe Hill.

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.

Joe Hill
Joan Baez

Soñé que vi a Joe Hill anoche vivo como tú y yo
Dije: «Pero Joe, estás diez años muerto
Nunca he muerto», dijo él
Nunca he muerto», dijo él

En Salt Lake, Joe», le dije de pie junto a mi cama
Te incriminaron por asesinato
Dice Joe: «¡Pero no estoy muerto!» (2x)

Los jefes Cooper te dispararon, Joe, te mataron, Joe», dice yo
Se necesita más que armas para matar a un hombre», dice Joe, «¡Yo no morí!

Y de pie allí tan grande como la vida y sonriendo con sus ojos
Joe dice: «Lo que nunca podrían matar pasó a organizarse

Joe Hill no está muerto», me dice: «Joe Hill nunca ha muerto
Cuando los trabajadores huelgan y organizan Joe Hill está a su lado

Desde San Diego hasta Maine en cada mina y molino
Donde los trabajadores defian sus derechos
Ahí encontrarás a Joe Hill

Soñé que vi a Joe Hill anoche vivo como tú y yo
Dije: «Pero Joe, estás diez años muerto», «Nunca he muerto», dijo él
