| "In Salt Lake, Joe," says I to him, him 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." | «not ngeng na' veng wanI' vIlIj», jIjatlh, «ghoS pInpu''e', chotwI' Dupong, nom nIghIpDIj --» jang Joe: «jIHeghpu'be'.» |
| "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" | «nIpum pInpu',» jIjatlh, «nIqIch, DaHoHta' HI'tuy negh.» «ghot HoHmeH vay', yapbe'bej HIch,» jang Joe Hill, «not jIHegh.» |

| From San Diego up to Maine, in every mine and mill, where working-men defend their rights, it's there you find Joe Hill, it's there you find Joe Hill! | Heghbe' Joe Hill, qaja'chu': jub! yISov je 'ej yIpIl: DaH motlh vumwI'pu', tlhab luHub, 'ej reH chaH boQ Joe Hill.» |
