|
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 |
|
It was 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 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 |
