VIGILANTE MAN Have you seen that Vigilante man? Have you seen that Vigilante man? Have you seen that Vigilante man? I've been hearing 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, Sleeping just as still as a mouse. Man come along and chased us in the rain, Was that a Vigilante man? Stormy days we'd pass the time away Sleeping in some good warm place A man come along and we give him a little race, Was that a vigilante man? Preacher Casey was just a working man, And he said, unite all you working men, They killed him in the river, some strange man, Was that a vigilante man? Oh, why does a vigilante man Oh, why does a vigilante man Carry that sawed off shotgun in his hand? Would he shoot his brother and sister down? I rambled around from town to town I rambled around from town to town And they herded us around like a wild herd of cattle Was that th vigilante men Have you seen that Vigilante man? Have you seen that Vigilante man? I've heared his name all over the land. Woody Guthrie > canzoni > Hard Travelin' - The Asch Recordings Vol 3
