Joe Hill, born 7 oktober 1879

Today I was thinking about Joe Hill, born in Sweden, with the name Joel Emmanuel Hägglund.
At the end of the day, I was looking in google about Joe Hill and I noticed, that just this day, 7 oktober, was his birthday in 1879.
Joe Hill, was a labor activist and killed by the authorities of the United States  on 19 november 1915!

Now, I only want to share this song ;"Joe Hill", singing by Paul Robenson!

Lyrics:

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" says he,
"I never died" says he.
In Salt lake city, Joe says I, in 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 workers fight and organize,
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.
