I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night

| I DREAMED I SAW JOE HILL LAST NIGHT 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. | JOE HILL Joe Hillin unissani näin, jo kauan kuollehen. Kun hämmästyin, Joe virkkoi vain: »Mä koskaan kuollut en, mä koskaan kuollut en.« Vaan Joe, mä intin, ponssarit sun tappoi, muistan sen. »Ei pyssyt pysty tappamaan«, Joe vastas', »kuollut en«, Joe vastas', »kuollut en.« Joe Hill näin virkkoi nauraen: »He multa hengen vei, vaan minkä eestä taistelin, se koskaan kuole ei, se koskaan kuole ei.« Nyt ymmärrän sen, että ei Joe kuole milloinkaan. Kun työväenluokka taistelee, Joe Hill on joukossaan, Joe Hill on joukossaan. |
