Where romance blooms and fades
A great Philadelphia lawyer
Was in love with a Hollywood babe
Come love and we will wander
Out where the lights are bright
I'll win you a divorce from your husband
and we can get married tonight.
Now Bill was a gun -towed cow boy,
ten notches were carved on his gun,
and all of the boys around Reno
left Wild Bill's darlin' alone.
One night when Bill was returning
from riding in rain so cold
her love more precious than gold
As he drew near to her window,
two shadows he saw on the shade
Was the great Philadelphia lawyer
Making love to his Hollywood maid
The night was as still as the desert
The moon hung high overhead
Bill listened a while to the lawyer
He could hear every word that he said
Your hands are so soft and so lovely,
Your form so rare and divine,
Come go with me to the sea,
And leave this wild cowboy behind.
Among the beautiful vines
There's one less Philadelphia lawyer
In old Pennsylvania tonight
