C G7
Way out in Reno, Nevada,
C
Where romance blooms and fades,
F
A great Philadelphia lawyer
C G7 C
Was in love with a Hollywood maid.
C G7
"Come, love, and we'll go ramblin'
¨ C
Down where the lights are so bright.
¨ F
I'll win you a divorce from your husband,¨
C G7 C
And we can get married tonight."¨
C G7
Wild Bill was a gun-totin' cowboy,
¨ C
¨Ten notches were carved in his gun.¨
¨ F
And all the boys around Reno
C G7 C
¨Left Wild Bill's maiden alone.
C G7
One night when Bill was returning¨
¨ C
From ridin' the range in the cold,¨
¨ F
He dreamed of his Hollywood sweetheart,
¨ C G7 C
Her love was as lasting as gold.
C G7
As he drew near her window,
¨¨ C
Two shadows he saw on the shade;¨'
¨ F
Twas the great Philadelphia lawyer
¨ C G7 C
Makin' love to Bill's Hollywood maid.
C G7
The night was as still as the desert,¨
¨ C
The moon hangin' high overhead.
¨ F
Bill listened awhile through the window,
¨ C G7 C
He could hear ev'ry word that he said:
C G7
"Your hands are so pretty and lovely,
¨¨ C
Your form's so rare and divine.¨
¨ F
Come go with me to the city¨
C G7 C
And leave this wild cowboy behind."
C G7
Now tonight back in old Pennsylvania,
¨ C
Among those beautiful pines,
¨ F
There's one less Philadelphia lawyer
C G7 C
In old Philadelphia tonight.
