Merle Haggard - Philadelphia Lawyer lyrics

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
