Philadelphia Lawyer Lyrics

Philadelphia Lawyer - Red Sovine

Way out in Reno Nevada

Where romances blooms and fades

A great Philadelphia lawyer

Makin' love with a Hollywood maid

Come love and we will ramble here

Out where the lights are 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 on his gun

And all of the boys around Reno

Left Wild Bill's maiden alone

One night when he 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

Was the great Philadelphia lawyer

Makin' love to Bill's Hollywood maid

The night was as still as the desert

The moon was bright overhead

Bill listened awhile through the lawyer

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 back in old Pennsylvania

Among those beautiful pines

There's one less Philadelphia lawyer

 

In old Philadelphia tonight
