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.
#2.
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.
But the man who shot Liberty Valance,
he shot Liberty Valance.
He was the bravest of them all.
#3.
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 to pass
a law book was no good.
#4.
Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd return
that fateful night, awww, 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.
#5.
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.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
