Way out in Reno, Nevada
Where romance blooms and fades
A great Philadelphia lawyer
Making love to a Hollywood maid
"Come, love, and we'll go wander
Down where the lights are so bright
I'll win you a divorce from your husband
And we can get married tonight"
Wild 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 ridin' the range in the cold
He dreamed of his Hollywood sweetheart
Her love was as lasting as gold
As he drew near her window
Two shadows he saw on the shade
The great Philadelphia lawyer
Was makin' love to Bill's Hollywood maid
"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 those beautiful pines
There's one less Philadelphia lawyer
In old Philadelphia tonight
