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.
