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
