Version 2 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]]
