Vigilante Man

Vigilante Man

Rainy night down in the engine house
Sleepin' just, 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
Yeah, sleeping in some good warm place
And a cop come along, and 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
Whoa!

Well, I ramble around, yeah, from town to town
Yeah, I ramble around, mm, from town to town
Yeah and they run us around like a wild herd of cattle, lord
Is that your vigilante man?

Well now why does that vigilante man
Why does that vigilante man
Carry that club in his hands
Would he beat an innocent man down, that no good vigilante man?

Whoo, ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ah
Whoo, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh
Whoo, ooh ooh
Whoo, ooh ooh ah
Whoo ooh, ah, ah
Whoo ooh, aaah ah

Vigilante Man (Live Version)

February 1988

One! Two! Three!

Rainy night down in the engine house
Sleepin' just, just as still as a mouse
And a man come along and chase us out in the rain
Well was that a vigilante man?

Stormy days, we pass the time away
Just a-sleeping in some good warm place
Yeah, then a cop come along, and we give him a little race
Yeah, was that a vigilante man?

Well tell me why does a vigilante man
Well tell me why does a vigilante man
Carry that sawed off shotgun in his hands
Whoa, to shoot his brothers and sisters down, that dirty vigilante man
Alright!

Well now I ramble around, yeah, from town to town
Yeah, I ramble around from town to town
Yeah and they herd us around like a wild herd of cattle, lord
Hey, was that your vigilante man?

Yeah, tell me why does that vigilante man
Tell me why does that vigilante man
Carry that club in his hands
Would he beat an innocent man down, that no good vigilante man?

Whoa, whoa oh
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Woo ooh whoa whoa whoa, hmmmmm
Mmm, mmm mmm, mmmmm
