Philadelphia Lawyer |
| 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 will wander |
| Down where the lights are bright |
| I’ll win you a divorce from your husband |
| And we can get married tonight |
| Wild Bill was a gun-toting cowboy |
| Ten notches were carved in his gun |
| And all the boys around Reno |
| Left Wild Bill’s maiden alone |
| One night when he was returning |
| From riding the range in the cold |
| He dreamed of his Hollywood sweetheart |
| Her love was as lasting as gold |
| As he grew near her window |
| A shadow he saw on the shade |
| It was the great Philadelphia lawyer |
| Making love to Bill’s Hollywood maid |
| The night was as still as the desert |
| And the moon hanging high overhead |
| Bill listened a while to the lawyer |
| He could hear every word that they 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 back in old Pennsylvania |
| Among the beautiful pines |
| There’s one less Philadelphia lawyer |
| In old Philadelphia tonight |
