Lyrics

Way out in Reno, Nevada Where (?) blooms and fades A great Philadelphia lawyer Was in love with a Hollywood maid Come love, and we will wander Out where the lights are bright I'll win you a divorce from you husband And we can get married tonight Now Bill, was a gun token cowboy Ten notches where carved on his gun And all the boys around Reno Left wild Bill's maiden alone 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 on the shade Was the great Philadelphia lawyer Making 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 heart every word that he said Your hands are so pretty and lovely Your form, so rare and (?) Come, go with me to the city And leave this wild cowboy behind Now back in old Pennsylvania Among those beautiful towns There's one less Philadelphia lawyer In old Philadelphia tonight There's one less Philadelphia lawyer In old Philadelphia tonight
