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 down where the lights are bright
|
I'll win you a divorce from your husband and we can get married tonight
|
Wild Bill was a guntotin' cowboy ten notches were carved in his gun
|
All the boys around Reno left Wild Bill's maiden alone
|

|
One night when he was returning from riding 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 in the shade
|
Twas a great Philadelphia lawyer making love to Bill's Hollywood maid
|
The night was as still as the desert the moon hanging high overhead
|
Bill listened awhile to the lawyer he could hear every word that he said
|
Your hands are so pretty and lovely your form so rare and divine
|
Come go with me to the city and leave this wild cowboy behind
|
Tonight back in old Pennsylvania among those beautiful pines
|
There's one less Philadelphia lawyer in old Philadelphia tonight
