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 
Then men would step aside 
 
Because 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 
 
"Cos 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 home when he should go, stay home 
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 last 
A law book was no good 
 
Alone and afraid she prayed that he`d 
Return that fateful night, ahh 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 
(2x) 
The man who shot Liberty Valance 
He shot Liberty Valance 
He was the bravest of them all
