Bonnie Owens - Philadelphia Lawyer lyrics

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 out 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 totin' 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 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 on the shade

The great Philadelphia lawyer was making love with Bill's Hollywood maid

The night was as sill as the desert the moon was 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's so rare and divine

Come go with me to the city we'll leave this wild cowboy behind

Now back in old Pennsylvania among the beautiful pines

There's one less Philadelphia lawyer in old Philadelphia tonight
