When Liberty Valance road to town, <br />The women folk would hide, they'd hide <br />When Liberty Valance walked around, <br />The men would step aside <br /><br />'Cause the point of a gun was the only law <br />That Liberty understood <br />When it came to shooting straight and fast <br />He was mighty good <br /><br />From out of the East, <br />A stranger came, <br />A lawbook in his hand, oh man <br />That kind of a man <br />The West would need <br />To tame a troubled land <br /><br />'Cause the point of a gun was the only law <br />That Liberty understood <br />When it came to shooting straight and fast <br />He was mighty good <br /><br />Many young men would face his gun, <br />And many young men would fall, <br />The man who shot Liberty Valance <br />He shot Liberty Valance <br />He was the bravest of them all <br /><br />The love of a girl can make a man <br />Stay on when he should go, stay on <br />Just trying to build <br />A peaceful life where love is freee to grow <br /><br />But the point of a gun was the only law <br />That Liberty understood <br />When the final showdown came out last <br />A lawbook was no good <br /><br />Alone and afraid, she praid that he'd return that faithfull night, oh that night <br />When nothing she said <br />Could keep her man from going out to fight <br />When the moment a girl gets to be fullgrown <br />The very first thing she learn <br />When two men go out to face each other <br />Only one return <br /><br />Everyone heard two shots ring out, <br />One shot made Liberty fall <br />The man who shot Liberty Valance <br />He shot Liberty Valance <br />He was the bravest of them all (x2)
