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 was carved on his gun
And all of 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
Was the great Philadelphia lawyer makin' love to his Hollywood maid
The night was as still 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 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
