Philadelphia Lawyer lyrics

PHILADELPHIA LAWYER 

WRITER WOODY GUTHRIE



Way out in Reno Nevada Where romance blooms and fades A great Philadelphia
Lawyer Was in love with a Hollywood maid. 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-totin' cowboy Ten notches were carved
on his gun All the boys around Reno Left wild Bill's maiden alone. One night
when he was returning From riding the range in the cold He dreamed of his
Hollywood sweetheart Her love was as lasting as gold. As he drew near her
window A shadow he saw on the shade Was the great Philadelphia Lawyer Makin'
love to his Hollywood maid. The night was as still as the desert The moon was
bright overhead Bill listened awhile to the lawyer He could hear ev'ry 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 those beautiful pines There's one less
Philadelphia Lawyer In old Philadelphia tonight. TAG: There's one less
Philadelphia Lawyer In old Philadelphia tonight.
