Vigilante Man

[Verse 1]

Have you seen that vigilante man?

Have you seen that vigilante man?

Have you seen that vigilante man?

I been hearin' his name all over the land

[Verse 2]

Well, what is a vigilante man?

Tell me, what is a vigilante man?

Has he got a gun and a club in his hand?

Is that is a vigilante man?

[Verse 3]

Rainy night down in the engine house

Sleepin' just as still as a mouse

Man come along an' he chased us out in the rain

Was that a vigilante man?

[Verse 4]

Stormy days we passed the time away

Sleepin' in some good warm place

Man come along an' we give him a little race

Was that a vigilante man?

[Verse 5]

Preacher Casy was just a workin' man

And he said, "Unite all you working men"

Killed him in the river some strange man

Was that a vigilante man?

[Verse 6]

Oh, why does a vigilante man

Why does a vigilante man

Carry that sawed-off shotgun in his hand?

Would he shoot his brother and sister down?

[Verse 7]

I rambled 'round from town to town

I rambled 'round from town to town

And they herded us around like a wild herd of cattle

Was that the vigilante men?
