Vigilante Man

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
