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"

Now, Bill was a gun-totin' cowboy
Ten notches were carved in his gun
And all the boys around Reno
Left Wild Bill's maiden alone

One night, when Bill was returning
From ridin' the range in the cold
He dreamed of his Hollywood maiden
Her love was as lasting as gold

As he drew near her window
A shadow he saw on the shade
It was the great Philadelphia lawyer
Makin' love to his Hollywood maid

The night was as still as the desert
The moon was bright overhead
Bill listened awhile to the lawyer
He could hear every word that he 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 all those beautiful pines
There's one less Philadelphia lawyer
In old Philadelphia tonight
