Philadelphia Lawyer

Way out in Reno, Nevada

Where the romances blooms and fade

There was a Philadelphia lawyer

Makin' love to a Hollywood maid

"Come, love, and we'll go rambling

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' cow-hand

Ten notches was carved in his gun

And all of the boys around Reno

Left Bill's Hollywood sweetheart alone

One night when Bill was returning

From riding the range in the cold

He thinkin' of his Hollywood sweetheart

Her love was as lasting as gold

As he drew near her window

Two shadows he saw on her 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 every word that they said

"Your hands are so pretty and lovely

And your form is so rare and divine

Come, go back with me to Philadelphia

And leave this wild cowboy behind"

Now tonight back in old Pennsylvania

Amongst her beautiful pines

There's one less Philadelphia lawyer

In old Philadelphia tonight
