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 totin' cowboy
Ten notches were carved in his gun
All the boys around Reno
Left Wild Bill's maiden alone.
--- Instrumental ---
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 drew near her window
A shadow he saw in the shade
Twas a great Philadelphia lawyer
Making love to Bill's Hollywood maid.
The night was as still as the desert
The moon hanging high overhead
Bill listened awhile to the lawyer
He could hear every word that he said.
Your hands are so pretty and lovely
Your form so rare and divine
Come go with me to the city
And leave this wild cowboy behind.
Tonight back in old Pennsylvania
Among those beautiful pines
There's one less Philadelphia lawyer
In old Philadelphia tonight...
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 totin' cowboy
Ten notches were carved in his gun
All the boys around Reno
Left Wild Bill's maiden alone.
--- Instrumental ---
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 drew near her window
A shadow he saw in the shade
Twas a great Philadelphia lawyer
Making love to Bill's Hollywood maid.
The night was as still as the desert
The moon hanging high overhead
Bill listened awhile to the lawyer
He could hear every word that he said.
Your hands are so pretty and lovely
Your form so rare and divine
Come go with me to the city
And leave this wild cowboy behind.
Tonight back in old Pennsylvania
Among those beautiful pines
There's one less Philadelphia lawyer
In old Philadelphia tonight...
