Vigilante Man - Nazareth cover

Way back when I was teenager...I used to always listen to my older brother's record collection....I would just stare at the albums and listen to them endlessly, cranked in the phones!....and Nazareth's ' RAZAMANAZ ' is one of them....Dan McCafferty's voice is friggin' wicked !!!...This is ' Vigilante Man'...the 3rd track from it....the song..somehow, always made me imagine the old outlaw days of the lawless wild west. Also...Nazareth are from Scotland...and so is my Mom !!!...so...it all makes sense now....lol....written by Woody Guthrie...and covered by many artists....but...I love Nazareth's version best !!! Cheers !...have a great weekend !!

Vigilante Man - Nazareth cover
Written by Woody Guthrie

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 this land.

Lonely nights down in the engine house
Sleepin' just as still as a mouse
Man comes in, chased us out into the rain
was that...the vigilante man ?
Vigilante man
Vigilante man

Well I ramble around from town to town
Ramble 'round from town to town
And they hunted us a while like a wild herd of cattle
Where is that vigilante man ?

Tell me why does that vigilante man
Tell me why does that vigilante man
Carry that sawed off shotgun in his hand ?
Would he shoot his brother and sister down ?

Vigilante man
Vigilante man....
