Lyrics:
Have you seen that vigilante man?
Have you seen that vigilante man?
Have you seen that vigilante man?
I been hearin' his name on the land

Tell me what's a vigilante man?
Tell me what's a vigilante man?
(mumble)
Carry that sawed-off shot-gun in his hand

Preacher Casey was just a working man
Said, "Unite all you working men"
Killed him in a river, some strange man
Was that a vigilante man?

And why does a vigilante man
???
Carry a gun in the claw of his hand
Would he knock his brother and sister down?


Why does a vigilante man
Why does a vigilante man
Carry that sawed-off shot-gun in his hand?
Would he shoot his brother and sister down?
