Oíche chiúin agus oíche an-fhliuch
Mé fá shuan, mé chomh ciúin le luch
Seo chugainn an boc a chuir an ruaig orainn
Bhuel, arbh é sin an forairdeallaí?
Aimsir gharbh, an t-am againn á mheilt
Sea, codladh ‘fháil i mball teolaí
Agus tháinig póilín, bhí sé in am sinn fhéin a cheilt
Hé, arbh é sin an forairdeallaí?
Bhuel abair cén fáth a n-iompraíonn sé é
Abair cén fáth a n-iompraíonn sé é
An gránghunna teasctha sin ina lámh’
A chomhdhaonnaí a leagan ar lár, an forairdeallaí, sea cén fáth?
Whoa!
Bhuel, seo ag fánaíocht mé, yé, ó áit go háit
Yé, seo ag fánaíocht mé, mmm, ó áit go háit,
Yé, is níl aon oidhre orainn, ach radharc éigin as an Táin,
‘Dhé
Arbh é sin d’fhorairdeallaí ?
Bhuel abair cén fáth a n-iompraíonn sé é
Sea cén fáth a n-iompraíonn sé é
Bata ár mbuailte ’na lámh’
An leagfadh sé fear ionraic ar lár, an forairdeallaí, sea cén fáth?
Wú, ó

Wú, ó ó
Ó ó ó ó, ó
Wú, ó ó
Wú, ó ó á

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
