Way out in Reno, Nevada,
Where romances bloom and they fade,
A great Philadelphia lawyer
Was in love with a Hollywood maid.
"Come, love, and we will wander
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 on his gun.
And all the boys around Reno
Left Wild Bill's sweetheart 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 to 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 is so rare and divine.
Come go with me into the city
And leave this wild cowboy behind."
Now tonight back in old Pennsylvania,
The lights are still shining and bright,
But there's one less Philadelphia lawyer
In old Philadelphia tonight.
