(The Man Who Shot) Liberty Valance

When Liberty Valance rode to town
 The women folk 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, aww that night
 When nothing 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
 Every one 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
