Man Who Shot Liberty Valance lyrics

Artist  : Gene Pitney 
Song : Man Who Shot 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.
