The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

When Liberty Valance came to town, 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 Kind of a man the west would need to ease 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 Now the love of a woman 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 it came to shootin' straight and fast, he was mighty good Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd return that fateful night, that night Nothin' she said could keep her man goin' out to fight But the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood When the final showdown came to pa*s a law book was no good [Incomprehensible] 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
