(The Man Who Shot) Liberty Valance

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 shooting 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 shooting 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 trying 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 to pass, a law book was no good.

Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd return that fateful night, ah 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

What 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.
