Philadelphia Lawyer Lyrics


Way out in Reno, Nevada
Where romance blooms and fades
A great Philadelphia lawyer
Was in love with a Hollywood maidCome, love and we'll go ramblin'
Down where the lights are so bright
I'll win you a divorce from your husband
And we can get married tonightWild Bill was a gun-totin' cowboy
Ten notches were carved in his gun
And all the boys around Reno
Left Wild Bill's maiden aloneOne night when Bill was returning
From ridin' the range in the cold
He dreamed of his Hollywood sweetheart
Her love was as lasting as goldAs he drew near her window
Two shadows he saw on the shade
It was the great Philadelphia lawyer
Makin' love to Bill's Hollywood maidThe night was as still as the desert
The moon hangin' high overhead
Bill listened awhile through the window

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
And leave this wild cowboy behind"Now tonight back in old Pennsylvania
Among those beautiful pines
There's one less Philadelphia lawyer
In old Philadelphia tonight

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Woodrow Wilson "Woody" Guthrie (July 14, 1912–October 3, 1967) was an American songwriter and folk musician. Guthrie's musical legacy consists of hundreds of songs, ballads and improvised works covering topics from political themes to traditional songs to children's songs. Guthrie performed continually throughout his life with his guitar frequently displaying the slogan "This Machine Kills Fascists". Guthrie is perhaps best known for his song "This Land Is Your Land", which is regularly sung in American schools. Many of his recorded songs are archived in the Library of Congress.
