"Philadelphia Lawyer" lyrics - MERLE HAGGARD

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
And 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
The great Philadelphia lawyer was making love with Bill's Hollywood maid
The night was as sill as the desert the moon was bright overhead
Bill listened awhile to the lawyer he could hear every word that he said
Your hands are so pretty and lovely your form's so rare and divine
Come go with me to the city we'll leave this wild cowboy behind
Now back in old Pennsylvania among the beautiful pines
There's one less Philadelphia lawyer in old Philadelphia tonight
