Philadelphia Lawyer

Lyrics:

• Way out in Reno, Nevada,
• Where romance blooms and fades,
• A great Philadelphia lawyer
• Was in love with a Hollywood maid.


• "Come, love, and we'll go ramblin'
• Down where the lights are so bright.
• I'll win you a divorce from your husband,
• And we can get married tonight."


• Wild Bill was a gun-totin' cowboy,
• Ten notches were carved in his gun.
• And all the boys around Reno
• Left Wild Bill's maiden alone.


• One night when Bill was returning
• From ridin' the range in the cold,
• He dreamed of his Hollywood sweetheart,
• Her love was as lasting as gold.


• As he drew near her window,
• Two shadows he saw on the shade;
• 'Twas the great Philadelphia lawyer
• Makin' love to Bill's Hollywood maid.


• The night was as still as the desert,
• The moon hangin' high overhead.
• Bill listened awhile through the window,
• He could hear ev'ry word that he said:


• "Your hands are so pretty and lovely,
• Your form's so rare and divine.
• Come go with me to the city
• And leave this wild cowboy behind."


• Now tonight back in old Pennsylvania,
• Among those beautiful pines,
• There's one less Philadelphia lawyer
• In old Philadelphia tonight.
