The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance Lyrics

When Liberty Valance rode to town
The women folk 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
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 live
Where love is free to grow;
But the point of a fun 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, that night.
When nothing she said could keep her man
From going 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 returns

Everyone heard two shots ring out,
One shot made Liberty fall
The man who shot Liberty Valance,
He shot Liberty Valance,
He was the bravest of them all
