written by Woody Guthrie
Have you seen that vigilante man?
Have you seen that vigilante man?
Have you seen that vigilante man?
I keep hearin' his name
All over this land
We were hiding at the engine house
We were hiding quiet as a mouse
When a man came along
And he chased us out in the rain
Was that a vigilante man?
Have you seen that vigilante man?
Have you seen that vigilante man?
Have you seen that vigilante man?
I keep hearin' his name
All over this land
Why would a vigilante man
Why would a vililante man
Why with a sawed-off shotgun 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 keep hearin' his name
All over this land
(Is that the end?...It is now!)
