We're out in Reno, Nevada
Where romance blooms and fades
The great Philadelphia lawyer
Was in love with a Hollywood maid
Come love, we will wander
Out where the lights are bright
I'll win you divorce from your husband
And we can get married tonight
Now Bill was a gun -toting cowboy
Ten notches were carved on his gun
And all of the boys around Reno
Left wild bills made out of
One night his bill was returnin'
From riding the range in the cold
He dreamed of his Hollywood maiden
And her love was as lasting as gold
And as he drew near the window
Two shadows, it's all on the shade
That great Philadelphia lovin'
Makin' love to his Hollywood
The night was as still as the desert
The moon hangin' high over hell
Bill listened a while through the window,
he could hear every word that he said
Your hands are so pretty and lovely,
your form so rare and divine
Come go with me to the city,
and leave this wild cowboy behind
Now back in old Pennsylvania,
among all those beautiful lands
There's one less Philadelphia lawyer
In old Philadelphia tonight
