Testo Della Canzone

The man who shot liberty valance di Gene Pitney

Intro:
When Liberty Valance rode to town

The womenfolk would hide, they’d hide

When Liberty Valance walked around

The men would step aside

Chorus 1:

‘Cause the point of a gun was the only law

That Liberty understood

When it came to shooting straight and fast

He was mighty good

Verse 2:

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

Bridge 1:

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

Verse 3:

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

Chorus 3:

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

Verse 4:

Alone and afraid, she prayed that he’d

Return that fateful night, oh that night

When nothing she said could keep her man

From going out to fight

Chorus 4:

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

Bridge 2:

Everyone heard two shots ring out

The shot made Liberty fall

The man who shot Liberty Valance

He shot Liberty Valance

He was the bravest of them all

Coda:

The man who shot Liberty Valance

He shot Liberty Valance

He was the bravest of them all
