Van Dyke Parks
Vigilante Man
[Verse 1]
Have you seen that vigilante man?
Have you seen that vigilante man?
Have you seen that vigilante man?
I've been hearin' his name all over the land

[Verse 2]
Rainy nights down in the engine house
Sleepin' just as still as a mouse
A man come along, chase us out in the rain
Was that a vigilante man?

[Verse 3]
Well, I rambled around from town to town
Now, I rambled around from town to town
And they herded us around like a wild herd of cattle
Was that the vigilante man?

[Verse 4]
Well, why does a vigilante man
Tell me, why does a vigilante man
Carry that sawed-off shot-gun in his hand?
Would he shoot his brother and sister down?

[Verse 1]
Have you seen that vigilante man?
Have you seen that vigilante man?
Have you seen that vigilante man?
I've been hearin' his name all over the land
