where the romances bloom and fade,
there was a Philadelphia lawyer
making love to a Hollywood maid.
Come, love, and we'll go rambling
Down where the lights are so bright
I'll win you a divorce from your husband
And we can get married tonight
While Bill was a gun -toting cowhand
Tim Notches was carved on his gun
And all of the boys around Reno
left Bill's Hollywood sweetheart alone.
One night when Bill was returning
from riding the range in the cold,
he thought of his Hollywood sweetheart,
her love was as lasting as gold.
As he drew near to her window,
two shadows he saw on her shade,
was the great Philadelphia lawyer,
making love to Bill's Hollywood name.
Night was as still as the desert,
and the moon hanging high overhead,
He'll listen a while after the winter,
he can hear every word that they said.
Your hands are so pretty and lovely,
and your form is so rare and divine.
Come go back with me to Philadelphia,
we'll leave this wild cowboy behind.
back in old Pennsylvania,
amongst her beautiful pines,
there's one less Philadelphia lawyer
in old Philadelphia tonight.
