There goes Joe Hill with his guitar in his hand Just singin' Union men to the promised land Singin' Union men to the promised land Local Utah, 1913 That Utah Copper Company sure is mean "Now by the whites of my eyes "You Union men need to organize" Joe Hill was away five miles or more When two men robbed a Salt Lake grocery store They shot a man and they screamed And they fled the place, never to be seen Old Joe Hill was thrown in prison to sit Arrested for a crime that he did not commit Arrested for a crime that he did not commit Well fly, you ravens fly Fly from around my door We don't got no scraps for you Don't come 'round here no more Well the judge, he hates the Union it's true And the governor, of course, he hates the Union too And they stifled that Union's breath When they sentenced old Joe Hill to death The president called, but they would not budge And Joe was sentenced to die on a Union grudge Sentenced to die on a Union grudge Well fly, you ravens fly Fly from around my door We don't got no scraps for you Don't come 'round here no more "When I die, Lord take my soul "And deliver me from this murder row "And let the merry breezes blow "My dust to where some flowers grow" Old Joe Hill didn't think it odd When he was killed in front of a firing squad
