Way out in Reno Ne-va-da Where romances bloom and fade, There was a Philadelphia lawyer,
in love with a Hollywood maid. Come love and we will wander, Out where the lights are so bright.
I'll win you a divorce from your husband, And we can get married to-night.
Now Bill was a gun-toting cowboy, Six notches carved on his gun; And all of the boys around Reno
Left Bill's Hollywood darling a-lone.
One night when Bill was re-turning From riding the range in the cold, He thought of his Hollywood darling
Her love was as lasting as gold.
As Bill drew near to her window, Two shadows he saw on the shade. It was the Philadelpia lawyer
Making love to Bill's Hollywood maid.
The night was as still as the desert, The moon hanging high over-head, Bill listened awhile at the window
He could hear every word that they said.
Your face is so pretty and lovely, Your form so fair and divine; Come back with me to Philadelphia
And leave this wild cowboy behind.
Now tonight back in old Pennsyl-vania, Beneath those beautiful pines, There's one less Philadelphia lawyer
In old Philadelphia to-night.
