More quotes by Joe Hill

Don't waste any time mourning — organize!

If the workers took a notion
They could stop all speeding trains;
Every ship upon the ocean
They can tie with mighty chains.

I'll take the shooting. I'm used to that. I've been shot a few times in the past, and I guess I can stand it, again.

There is pow'r, there is pow'r
In a band of workingmen.
When they stand hand in hand,
That's a pow'r, that's a pow'r
That must rule in every land —
One Industrial Union Grand.

There is power in a Union (1913)

Goodbye Bill. I die like a true blue rebel. Don't waste any time in mourning. Organize.
