When Liberty Valance road 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 lawbook in his hand, oh man That 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 young men would face his gun, And many young men 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 freee to grow
But the point of a gun was the only law That Liberty understood When the final showdown came out last A lawbook was no good
Alone and afraid, she praid that he'd return that faithfull night, oh that night When nothing she said Could keep her man from going out to fight When the moment a girl gets to be fullgrown The very first thing she learn When two men go out to face each other Only one return
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 (x2)
