Rose Maddox - 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 down where the lights are bright

I'll win you a divorce from your husband and we can get married tonight

Wild Bill was a guntotin' cowboy ten notches were carved in his gun

All the boys around Reno left Wild Bill's maiden alone

[ guitar ]

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 in the shade

Twas a great Philadelphia lawyer making love to Bill's Hollywood maid

The night was as still as the desert the moon hanging high 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

Tonight back in old Pennsylvania among those beautiful pines

There's one less Philadelphia lawyer in old Philadelphia tonight
