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 |
