When Liberty Valance rode to town, the 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 |
|
The 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 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 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 the final showdown came at last, a law book was no good |
|
Alone and afraid, she prayed that he'd return that fateful night, aw, that night |
|
When nothin' she said could keep her man from goin' out to fight |
|
From the moment a girl gets to be full-grown, the very first thing she learns |
|
When two men go out to face each other, only one returns |
|
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 |
|
The man who shot Liberty Valance |
|
He shot Liberty Valance |
|
He was the bravest of them all |
