Philadelphia Lawyer
Lyricist:Woody Guthrie
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'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
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com As he drew near her window Two shadows he saw on the shade It was 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 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 tonight back in old Pennsylvania Among those beautiful pines There's one less Philadelphia lawyer In old Philadelphia tonight
