Vigilante Man Lyrics
Vigilante Man - Woody Guthrie
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
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
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 working 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 shot-gun 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 this land
