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
