The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance Lyrics

 

(The Man Who Shot) Liberty Valance (Remastered 2015) - Gene Pitney

Written by:Hal David/Burt Bacharach/Rr

When liberty valance rode

To town the women folk would hide

 

They'd hide

 

When liberty valance 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 a man the west

Would need to tame 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

 

The love of a girl can make a man

Stay on when he should go stay on

 

Just trying 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 going 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

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
