Man Who Shot Liberty Valance 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.
