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'll go ramblin' 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' 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 sweetheart, |
|
Her love was as lasting as gold. |
|
As he drew near her window, |
|
Two shadows he saw on the 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 ev'ry 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 tonight back in old |
|
Pennsylvania, |
|
Among those beautiful pines, |
|
There's one less |
|
Philadelphia lawyer |
|
In old Philadelphia tonight. |
