Lyrics
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
