Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs - Philadelphia Lawyer lyrics

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 guntotin' 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 [ dobro ] 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 lovelyand 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
