D A

Way out in Reno, Nevada

A D

Where romance blooms and fades

D D7 G

A great Philadelphia lawyer

A D

Was in love with a Hollywood maid

D A

"Come, love, and we will wander

A D

"Down where the lights are bright

D D7 G

"I'll win you a divorce from your husband

A D

"And we can get married tonight."

Wild Bill was a gun-totin' cowboy

Ten notches were carved in his gun

An' all the boys around Reno

Left Wild Bill's maiden alone

One night when he was returning

From ridin' the range in the cold

He dreamed of his Hollywood sweetheart

Her love was as lasting as gold

As he grew near her window

A shadow 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

And the moon hangin' high overhead

Bill listened a while to the lawyer

He could hear ev'ry word that they 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 back in old Pennsylvania

Among the beautiful pines

There's one less Philadelphia lawyer

In old Philadelphia tonight
