when liberty valance came to town

the women folk would hide

they'd hide

when liberty val
ance walked around

the men would step aside

because the point of a gun

was the only law that liberty understood

when it came to shooting

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 man

the west would need to ease a troubled land

because the point of a gun

was the only law that liberty understood

when it came to shooting

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



now the love of a woman can make a man

stay on when he should go

stay on

just trying to build a peaceful life

where love is free to go

but the point of a gun

was the only law that liberty understood

when it came to shooting

straight and fast

he was mighty good



alone and afraid she prayed that he'd

return that fateful night

that night

when nothing she said could keep her man

from going out to fight

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



out in the sun two shots rang out

the shots made liberty fall

the man who shot liberty valance

he shot liberty valance

he was the bravest of them all
