Liberty Valance

Gene Pitney cover

lyrics

When Liberty Valance rode to town the womenfolk would hide, they'd hide
When Liberty Valance walked around the men would step aside
Cuz 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 lawbook in his hand
a man, the kind of a man the West wound need to tame this troubled land
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

Many a man would face his gun, 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 to pass, a lawbook was no good

alone and afraid she prayed that he'd return that fateful night
Aw that night, when nothing she'd do could keep her man from going out to fight
from the moment a girl gets to be full-grown, the very first thing she leanrs
when two men go out to face each other, only one returns

Everyone heard to 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
