Joe Hill - American Communist

Joe Hill was one of the first trade union organisers in USA who fought for workers rights and at the same time he was a talented poet and musician.

He has been executed after being sued guilty in a trial he was innocent, because he fought against rich capitalists who oppressed the workers.

Here is a song by him:

Long-haired preachers come out every night,
Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right;
But when asked how 'bout something to eat
They will answer with voices so sweet:

Refrain:

You will eat, bye and bye,
In that glorious land above the sky;
Work and pray, live on hay,
You'll get pie in the sky when you die.

The starvation army they play,
They sing and they clap and they pray
'Till they get all your coin on the drum
Then they'll tell you when you're on the bum:

Refrain.

Holy Rollers and jumpers come out,
They holler, they jump and they shout.
Give your money to Jesus they say,
He will cure all diseases today.

Refrain.

If you fight hard for children and wife --
Try to get something good in this life --
You're a sinner and bad man, they tell,
When you die you will sure go to hell.

Refrain.

Workingmen of all countries, unite,
Side by side we for freedom will fight;
When the world and its wealth we have gained
To the grafters we'll sing this refrain:

Final chorus:

You will eat, bye and bye,
When you've learned how to cook and to fry.
Chop some wood, 'twill do you good,
And you'll eat in the sweet bye and bye.

My will is easy to decide
For there is nothing to divide
My kin don't need to fuss and moan
"Moss does not cling to a rolling stone."
My body? - Oh. - If I could choose
I would to ashes it reduce
And let the merry breezes blow
My dust to where some flowers grow

Perhaps some fading flower then
Would come to life and bloom again

This is my Last and final Will
Good Luck to All of you

Joe Hill

If USA became socialist in the 20th century, during the time of leader cult, I bet he would be carried on huge portraits next to Marx and Lenin!

Yes, but he lives in the USA where he is well known; especially among far-leftists.

Joe Hill was the leader of Industrial Workers of the World. He was an anarcho-syndicalist, not a communist last I checked

Unfortunately,

I think your right. Those who truly remember the wobblies and the old labor struggles are dying out I fear.
