Joe Hill is actually a ballad composed in 1936 by Alfred Hayes and Earl Robinson.

This is a little confusing, because there is also a ballad by Phil Ochs called Joe Hill. Both are worth listening to though.

That is a bit. Im only familiar with the Joan Baez cover, which I guess is properly called "I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night", which is the version used for the theme song in the Joe Hill movie.
