Vigilante man open G ( Ry Cooder cover)

written by Wody Guthrie , sung and played by Roy Cruz (Ry Cooder Fanclub)

here are the lyrics:

Have you seen that vigilante man ?
Have you seen tha vigilante man ?
Have you seen that vigilante man ?
I've been hearin' his name all over the land.

Rainy nights down in the engine house,
Sleepin' just as still as a mouse,
A man came along and he chased us out in the rain.
Was that a vigilante man ?

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 ?

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 ?

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.

Great rendition of a great song,I first heard this by Woody, but he and Leadbelly were friends and both excellent songwriters,so they musta swapped some stories,I'm sure. Thanks alot for this, by the way, it's back on by Ry

[rycooderfanclub]

thanks Cannabis

[lampef]

do you know why they took rys version off when there still are other songs with him on you tube?

[rycooderfanclub]

i think it has something to do with copyrights traders or collectors but you're right, it's a shame that they removed it 'cayse it's one of my all time favourites

Roy Cruz - nicely done great work just like Ry would have done I think Mr. Cruz you have made Mr. Cooder proud to hear your playing in his style I know of Ry’s playing slide and you do him much justice in this cover I have saved to my private playing list a rare honor. Thanks to you

Ooh! Fostex FD4 on top of the fridge there, if I'm not mistaken. Possibly and FD8.
