Scott Walker - The Moviegoer (1971)

Lyrics:

I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night

Alive as you or me

Says I: "But Joe, you're ten years dead"

"I never died", said he

"I never died", said he

"The copper bosses killed you, Joe

They shot you Joe", said I

"Takes more than guns to kill a man"

Says Joe: "I did not die"

Says Joe: "I did not die"

Standing there as big as life

And a-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 an' mill

Where working men defend their rights,"

It say: "You'll find Joe Hill

It's there you'll find Joe Hill

It's there you'll find Joe

Joe Hill, Joe Hill"

This was a big campfire song at my hippie summer camp in the late '60s. So sad that America chose to follow the path of greed and perpetual war instead of freedom and equality.
