Philadelphia Lawyer Lyrics
Philadelphia Lawyer - Tennessee Ernie Ford
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
And 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 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
A shadow 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 bringter overhead
Bill listened awhile through the lawyer
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 back in old Pennsylvania
Among those beautiful pines
There's one less Philadelphia lawyer
In old Philadelphia tonight
There's one less Philadelphia lawyer
In old Philadelphia tonight
