JOE HILL - The man who didn't die
Oct 7, 1879 - Nov 19, 1915
Aged 36
美國 Utah 猶他州
Salt Lake City 鹽湖城, 州立監獄的庭園廣場 ....
五個步兵屏氣舉鎗, 向着一個死囚的身上....
指揮官正要下令高呼: 瞄準! ....
JOE HILL - Paul Robeson
Music: Earl Robinson, Lyric: Alfred Hayes 1936
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.
“In Salt Lake, Joe,” says I to him,
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.”
“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”
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 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” said he,
“I never died” said he.
