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

Now Bill was a gun-toting cowboy, ten notches were carved on his gun

And all the boys around Reno, left wild Bill’s maiden alone

One night when he was returning, from riding the range so cold

He dreamed of his Hollywood maiden, 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, making love to his Hollywood maid

The night was as still as the desert, the moon hung bright 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

Now back in old Pennsylvania, among those beautiful pines

There’s one less Philadelphia lawyer, in old Philadelphia tonight
