Philadelphia Lawyer

Philadelphia Lawyer - The Maddox Brothers & Rose/Dixie Blue Boys

Way out in Reno Nevada

Where romance blooms and fades

A great Philadelphia lawyer

Make in love with a Hollywood maid

"Come love and we'll go ramblin'

Down where the lights are so 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 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

Two shadows he saw on the shade;

'Twas the great Philadelphia lawyer

Makin' love to Bill's Hollywood maid

The night was as still as the desert

The moon hangin' high overhead

Bill listened awhile through the window

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 by with me to the city

And leave this wild cowboy behind "

Now tonight back in old Pennsylvania

Among those beautiful pines

There's one less Philadelphia lawyer

In old Philadelphia tonight
