Over deze songtekst:
Gecovered van Joe Hill
Joe Hill's echte naam was Joel Hagglund. Hij emigreerde uit Zweden naar de VS in 1902. In 1915 werd hij ter dood veroordeeld vanwege een overval met moord, maar dat is nooit bewezen. Joel was heel aktief voor IWW (=Industrial Workers of the World). Zie: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Industrial-Workers-of-the-World
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 want to ashes it reduce And let the merry breezes blow My dust to where some flowers grow Perhaps some fading flower then Would spring to life and bloom again This is my last and final Will Good Luck to all of you Joe Hill
