VIGILANTE MAN
Woody Guthrie


Rainy night down in the engine house 
Sleeping just as still as a mouse 
Yeah, a man came along and chase us out in the rain 
Well was that a vigilante man 
Stormy days, we pass the time away 
Yeah sleeping in some good warm place 
And a cop come along we give him a little race 
Say was that a vigilante man 
Well tell me why does a vigilante man 
Tell me why does a vigilante man 
Carry that sawed off shotgun in his hands 
To shoot his brothers and sisters down that no good vigilante man 
Well I ramble around yeah, from town to town 
Yeah I ramble around mmmh, from town to town 
Yeah and they run us around like a wild herd of cattle lord 
Yeah is that your vigilante man 
Well tell me why does a vigilante man 
Why does a vigilante man 
Carry that club in his hands 
Would he beat an innocent man down that no good vigilante man 
Ooh (Fade out)
