Lyrics
When Liberty Valance rode to town
The womenfolk would hide
They'd hide
When Liberty Valance walked around
The men would step aside
'Cause the point of a gun
Was the only law that Liberty understood
When it came to shootin' straight and fast
He was mighty good.
From out of the east a stranger came
A law book in his hand
A man
The kind of a man the west would need
To tame a troubled land
'Cause the point of a gun
Was the only law that Liberty understood
When it came to shootin' straight and fast
He was mighty good.
Many a man would face his gun
And many a man would fall
The man who shot Liberty Valance,
He shot Liberty Valance
He was the bravest of them all.
The love of a girl can make a man
Stay on when he should go
Stay on
Just tryin' to build a peaceful life
Where love is free to grow
But the point of a gun
Was the only law that Liberty understood
When the final showdown came at last
A law book was no good.
Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd
Return that fateful night,
Aww that night
When nothin' she said could keep her man from goin' out to fight
From the moment a girl gets to be full-grown
The very first thing she learns
When two men go out to face each other
Only one retur-r-r-ns
Everyone heard two shots ring out,
A shot made Liberty fall
The man who shot Liberty Valance,
He shot Liberty Valance
He was the bravest of them all
The man who shot Liberty Valance,
He shot Liberty Valance
He was the bravest of them all
