Vigilante Man

Ry Cooder

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. 

Rainy nights down in the engine house, 
Sleepin' just as still as a mouse, 
A man came along and he chased us out in the rain. 
Was that a vigilante man ? 

Well, I rambled around from town to town, 
Now, I rambled around from town to town, 
And they herded us around like a wild herd of cattle. 
Was that the vigilante man ? 

Well, why does a vigilante man ? 
Tell me why does a vigilante man ? 
Carry that sawed-off shot-gun in his hand ? 
Would he shoot his brother and sister down ? 

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.
