Stampfel & Weber - Philadelphia Lawyer

Copied!

{Verse 1}
Way out in Reno, Nevada
Where the romances bloom and they fade
A great Philadelphia lawyer
Fell in love with a Hollywood maid

{Verse 2}
Bill was a gun-totin' cowboy
Six notches carved on his gun
All the boys around Reno
They left Bill's gun in the run

{Verse 3}
Our Billy went ridin’ one evening
Two shadows he saw on the shade
Was the great Philadelphia lawyer
Making love to his Hollywood dame

{Verse 4}
Your hair looks so pretty, so lovely
Your form so rare and divine
Come with me to Philadelphia
And leave this wild cowboy behind

{Verse 5}
Now way out in old Pennsylvania
Among the beautiful pines
There's one less Philadelphia lawyer
In old Philadelphia tonight
