Vigilante Man

Lyrics

Have you seen that vigilante man?
 Have you seen that vigilante man?
 Have you seen that vigilante man?
 I've been hearin' his name all over the land
 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 a vigilante man?
 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?
 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?
 Preacher Casey was just a workin' man
 And he said, "Unite, all you workin' men"
 Killed him in the river some strange man
 Was that a vigilante man?
 ♪
 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?
 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?
 Have you seen that vigilante man?
 Have you seen that vigilante man?
 I've heard his name all over the land
