The man who shot Liberty Valance
The man who shot Liberty Valance
Many a man would face his gun and many a man would fall
Stay on when he should go, stay on
The man who shot Liberty Valance
He was mighty good
Was the only law that Liberty understood
Just trying to build a peaceful life
Was the only law that Liberty understood
When it came to shooting, straight and fast
The love of a girl can make a man
Everyone heard two shots ring out
A law book was no good
The very first thing she learns
To tame a troubled land
Where love is free to grow
When Liberty Valance walked around
Was the only law that Liberty understood
When nothing she said could keep
When two men go out to face each other
Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd
From out of the east a stranger came
Because the point of a gun
The kind of a man the West would need
'Cause the point of a gun
Return that fateful night, ahh, that night
But the point of a gun
He was the bravest of them all
Her man from going out to fight
The men would step aside
From the moment a girl gets to be full grown
He was the bravest of them all
He shot Liberty Valance
He shot Liberty Valance
When it came to shooting, straight and fast
When the final showdown came to pass
Only one returns
He was mighty good
The shot made Liberty fall
He shot Liberty Valance
A law book in his hand, a man
