Philadelphia Lawyer lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Philadelphia Lawyer lyrics Songwriters: Guthrie, Woody; 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 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 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 song lyrics
