Joe
Hill
Come
Over
From
Sweden
Shores
Looking
For
Some
Work
To
Do
And
The
Statue
Of
Liberty
Waved
Him
By
As
Joe
Come
A
Sailing
Through
Joe
Hill
As
Joe
Come
A
Sailing
Through
Oh
His
Clothes
Were
Coarse
And
His
Hopes
Were
High
As
He
Headed
For
The
Promised
Land
And
It
Took
A
Few
Weeks
On
The
Out
Of
Work
Streets
Before
He
Began
To
Understand
Before
He
Began
To
Understand
And
Joe
Got
Hired
By
A
Bowery
Bar
Sweeping
Up
The
Saloon
As
His
Rag
Would
Sail
Over
The
Baroom
Rail
Sounded
Like
He
Whisteled
On
A
Tune
You
Could
Almost
Hear
Him
Whistling
On
A
Tune
And
Joe
Rolled
 
On
From
Job
To
Job
From
The
Docks
To
The
Railroad
Line
And
No
Matter
How
Hungry
The
Hand
That
Wrote
In
His
Letters
He
Was
Always
Doing
Fine
In
His
Letters
He
Was
Always
Doing
Fine
Oh
The
Years
Went
By
Like
The
Sun
Going
Down
Slowly
Turn
The
Page
And
When
Joe
Looked
Back
At
The
Sweat
Upon
His
Track
He
Had
Nothing
To
Show
But
His
Age
He
Had
Nothing
To
Show
But
His
Age
So
He
Headed
Out
For
The
California
Shore
There
Things
Were
Just
As
Bad
So
He
Joined
The
Industrial
Workers
Of
The
World
Cause
The
Union
Was
The
Only
Friend
He
Had
Cause
The
Union
Was
 
The
Only
Friend
He
Had
Now
The
Strikes
Were
Bloody
And
The
Strikes
Were
Black
As
Hard
As
They
Were
Long
In
The
Dark
Of
Night
Joe
Would
Stay
Awake
And
Write
In
The
Morning
He
Would
Raise
Them
With
A
Song
In
Morning
He
Would
Raise
Them
With
A
Song
And
He
Wrote
His
Words
To
The
Tunes
Of
The
Day
To
Be
Passed
Along
The
Union
Vine
And
The
Strikes
Were
Led
And
The
Songs
Were
Spread
And
Joe
Hill
Was
Always
On
The
Line
Yes
Joe
Hill
Was
Always
On
The
Line
Now
In
Salt
Lake
City
A
Murder
Was
Made
There
Was
Hardly
A
Clue
To
Find
Oh
The
Proof
 
Was
Poor
But
The
Sheriff
Was
Sure
Joe
Was
The
Killer
Of
The
Crime
That
Joe
Was
The
Killer
Of
The
Crime
Joe
Raised
His
Hands
But
They
Shot
Him
Down
He
Had
Nothing
But
Guilt
To
Give
Its
A
Doctor
I
Need
And
They
Left
Him
To
Bleed
He
Made
It
Cause
He
Had
The
Will
To
Live
Yes
He
Made
It
Cause
He
Had
The
Will
To
Live
Then
The
Trial
Was
Held
In
A
Building
Of
Wood
And
There
The
Killer
Would
Be
Named
And
The
Days
Weighed
More
Than
The
Cold
Copper
Ore
Cause
He
Feared
That
He
Was
Being
Framed
Cause
He
Found
Out
That
He
Was
Being
Framed
 
Oh
Strange
Are
The
Ways
Of
Western
Law
Strange
Are
The
Ways
Of
Fate
For
The
Government
Crawled
To
The
Mine
Owners
Call
That
The
Judge
Was
Appointed
By
The
State
Yes
The
Judge
Was
Appointed
By
The
State
Oh
Utah
Justice
Can
Be
Had
But
Not
For
A
Union
Man
And
Joe
Was
Warned
By
Summer
Early
Morn
That
There'd
Be
One
Less
Singer
In
The
Land
There'd
Be
One
Less
Singer
In
The
Land
Now
William
Spry
Was
Governor
Spry
And
A
Life
Was
His
To
Hold
On
The
Last
Appeal
Fell
A
Governors
Tear
May
The
Lord
Have
Mercy
On
Your
Soul
May
The
Lord
Have
Mercy
On
Your
Soul
Even
 
President
Wilson
Held
Up
The
Day
But
Even
He
Would
Fail
For
Nobody
Heard
The
Words
Of
The
Soul
Searching
Words
Of
The
Soul
In
The
Salt
Lake
City
Jail
Of
The
Soul
In
The
Salt
Lake
City
Jail
For
36
Years
He
Lived
Out
His
Days
And
He
More
Than
Played
His
Part
For
His
Songs
That
He
Made
He
Was
Carefully
Paid
With
A
Rifle
Bullet
Buried
In
His
Heart
With
A
Rifle
Bullet
Buried
In
His
Heart
Yes
They
Lined
Joe
Hill
Up
Against
The
Wall
Blindfold
Over
His
Eyes
Its
The
Life
Of
A
Rebel
That
He
Chose
To
Live
Its
The
Death
Of
A
Rebel
That
He
Died

The
Death
Of

Now
Some

Joe
Was
Guilty

He
Wasnt
Even
There
And
I
Guess
Nobody
Will
Ever
