Rainy night down in the engine house Sleepin' 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 Sleeping in some good warm place A cop come along 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 Well I ramble around from town to town Yeah I ramble around from town to town Yeah and they run us around like a wild herd of cattle lord is that your vigilante man? Well tell me why does a vigilante man Tell me why does a vigilante man Carry that club in his hands Would he beat an innocent man down that no good vigilante man
