Philadelphia Lawyer Lyrics - Flatt And Scruggs

Way out in Reno Nevada where the romances bloom and they fade 

Was 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 the divorce from your husband and we can get married tonight 

Now Bill was a gun totin' cowboy with ten notches carved on his gun 

And all the boys around Reno left Wild Bill's darlin' alone 

One night when Bill was returning from ridin' the range in the cold 

He thought of his Hollywood darlin' with her love as lasting as gold 

As Bill drew near to her window two shadows he saw on the shade 

Twas the great Philadelphia lawyer making love to his Hollywood maid 

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

Bill listened awhile in her window he could hear every word that they said 

Your face is so pretty and lovely and your form so rare and divine 

Come and go with me to Philadelphia and leave this wild cowboy behind 

Well, tonight back in old Pennsylvania among the beautiful pines 

There's one less Philadelphia lawyer in old Philadelphia tonight
