Version 1 of the lyrics

1  When Liberty Valance rode to town   When Liberty Valance rode to town, 1
2  The women folk would hide, they'd hide   The womenfolk       would hide, they'd hide. 2
3  When Liberty Valance walked around   When Liberty Valance walked around, 3
4  The men would step aside   The men would step aside. 4
5                                                          'Cause the point of a gun was the only law, 5
6  Because the point of a gun   That Liberty understood.             6
7  Was the only law that Liberty understood          When it came to shootin' straight and fast, 7
8  When it came to shooting, straight and fast   He was mighty good.                                 8
1  He was mighty good   1
9                                                  From out of the East a stranger came, 9
10  From out of the east        a stranger came   A law book in his hand, a man.       10
11  A law book in his hand, a man                            The kind of                 a man the West would need, 11
12  The kind of a man the West would need   To tame     a troubled land.                    12
13  To tame            a troubled land                    'Cause the point of a gun was the only law, 13
14                                That Liberty understood. 14
15  'Cause the point of a gun               When it came to shootin' straight and fast, 15
16  Was the only law that Liberty understood   He was mighty good.                            16
2  When it came to shooting, straight and fast   2
17  He was mighty good                    Many a man would face his gun, 17
18                                     And many a man would fall. 18
19  Many a man would face his gun and many a man would fall   The    man who shot Liberty Valance,                                 19
20  The man who shot Liberty Valance   He           shot Liberty Valance, 20
21  He shot Liberty Valance                   He was the bravest of them all. 21
3  He was the bravest of them all   3
22                                                          The love of a girl can make a man stay on, 22
23  The love of a girl can make a man   When he should go, stay on.               23
24  Stay on when he should go, stay on   Just tryin' to build a peaceful life,     24
25  Just trying           to build a peaceful life   Where love is free to grow.                    25
26  Where love is free to grow                         But the point of a gun was the only law, 26
27                                That Liberty understood. 27
28  But the point of a gun          When the final showdown came at last, 28
29  Was the only law that Liberty understood          A            law book was no good. 29
4  When the final showdown came to pass   4
30  A law book was no good                  Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd return, 30
31                                               That fateful night, aww, that night. 31
32  Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd              When nothin'         she said could keep her man, 32
33  Return that fateful night, ahh, that night   From goin' out to fight.              33
34  When nothing she said could keep                        From the moment a girl gets to be full-grown, 34
35  Her man from going out to fight   The very first thing she learns,        35
36                                                     When two men go out to face each other, 36
37  From the moment a girl gets to be full grown   Only one returns.                                     37
5  The very first thing she learns   5
38  When        two men go out to face each other   Everyone heard two shots ring out,                        38
39  Only one returns                   A shot made Liberty fall. 39
40                                            The man who shot Liberty Valance, 40
41  Everyone heard two shots ring out   He shot Liberty Valance,            41
42  The shot made Liberty fall               He was the bravest of them all. 42
6  The man who shot Liberty Valance   6
43  He           shot Liberty Valance   The man who shot Liberty Valance, 43
44  He was the bravest of them all   He shot Liberty Valance,                44
45                                           He was the bravest of them all. 45
7  The man who shot Liberty Valance   7
8  He shot Liberty Valance   8
  He was the bravest of them all   [(THE MAN WHO SHOT) LIBERTY VALANCE[1]]
