Way out in Reno Nevada where the romances bloom and they fade |
|
Was a great Philadelphia lawyer was in love with a Hollywood maid |
|
Come love and we will wander down where the lights are so bright |
|
I'll win you the divorce from your husband and we can get married tonight |
|
Now Bill was a guntotin' cowboy with ten notches carved on his gun |
|
And all the boys around Reno left Wild Bill's darlin' alone |
|
One night when Bill was returning from ridin' the range in the cold |
|
He thought of his Hollywood darlin' with her love as lasting as gold |
|
[ dobro ] |
|
As Bill drew near to her window two shadows he saw on the shade |
|
Twas the great Philadelphia lawyer making love to his Hollywood maid |
|
The night was as still as the desert and the moon hanging high overhead |
|
Bill listened awhile in her window he could hear every word that they said |
|
Your face is so pretty and lovelyand your form so rare and divine |
|
Come and go with me to Philadelphia and leave this wild cowboy behind |
|
Well tonight back in old Pennsylvania among the beautiful pines |
|
There's one less Philadelphia lawyer in old Philadelphia tonight |
