Way out in Reno Nevada
Where the romances bloom and they fade
Was a great Philadelphia lawyer
In love with a Hollywood maid
Come love and we will wander
Down where the lights are so bright
I'll win you a divorce from your husband
And we can get married tonight
Now Bill was a gun toting cowboy
With ten notches carved on his gun
And all the boys around Reno
Left Wild Bill running alone
One night as Bill was returning
From riding the range in the cold
He thought of his Hollywood darling
With a love as lasting as gold
As Bill drew near to her window
Two shadows he saw in the shade
Was 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 a while at her window
He could hear every word that they said
Your face is so pretty and lovely
And 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
