Liberty valance lyrics

Artist  : Burt bacharach 
Song : Liberty valance
 
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, aww 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
retur-r-r-ns

Everyone heard two shots ring out, a 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.
