Lyrics
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
Out 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 on his gun
And all of the boys around Reno
Left Wild Bill's darlin' alone
One night when Bill was returning
From riding the range so cold
He dreamed of his Hollywood maiden
Her love more precious than gold
As he 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
The moon hung high overhead
Bill listened awhile to the lawyer
He could hear every word that he said
"Your hands are so soft and so lovely
Your form so rare and divine
Come go with me to the city
And leave this wild cowboy behind"
Now back in old Pennsylvania
Among the beautiful vines
There's one less Philadelphia lawyer
In old Pennsylvania tonight
