When Liberty Valance rode to townThe women folk would hide, they'd hide.When Liberty Valance walked aroundThe men would step asideCause 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.The kind of a man the west would needTo tame a troubled land;Cause the point of a gun was the only lawThat Liberty understood.When it came to shootin' straight and fast,He was mighty good.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.The love of a girl can make a manStay on when he should go, stay on.Just tryin' to build a peaceful liveWhere love is free to grow;But the point of a fun was the only lawThat Liberty understood.When the final showdown came at lastA law book was no good.Alone and afraid she prayed that he'dReturn that fateful night, that night.When nothing she said could keep her man From going out to fight.From the moment a girl gets to be full grownThe very first thing she learnsWhen two men go out to face each other,only one returns.Everyone heard two shots ring out,One shot made Liberty fallThe man who shot Liberty Valance,He shot Liberty Valance,He was the bravest of them all.
