have you seen that vigilante man? (3x)
been hearing his name all over the land.

rainy nights down in the engine house.
sleeping just as still as a mouse.
man come along, chased us out into the rain.
was that a vigilante man?

stormy days we passed the time away.
sleeping in some good, warm place.
man come along y'know we give him a little race.
was that a vigilante man?

preacher casey was a working man.
he said, "unite all you workin men".
killed him in the river, some strange man.
was that a vigilante man?

tell me why does a vigilante man...
carry a sawed off shotgun in his hand?
would he shoot his brother and sister down?
