Vigilante Man - Woody Guthrie

Rainy night down in the engine house

Sleepin' just as still as a mouse

A man came along and chase us out in the rain

Well was that a vigilante man?

Stormy days, we pass the time away

Sleeping in some good warm place

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 from town to town

Yeah I ramble around from town to town

Yeah and they run us around like a wild herd of cattle lord

is that your vigilante man?

Well tell me why does a vigilante man

Tell me why does a vigilante man

Carry that club in his hands

Would he beat an innocent man down that no good vigilante man
