Philadelphia Lawyer
(Woody Guthrie) Bonnie Owens
Way out in Reno Nevada where Romance blooms and fades There's a great Philadelphia lawyer Makin' love to 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.
Wild 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 ridin' the range in the cold He dreamed of his Hollywood sweetheart Her love was as lasting as gold.
As he drew near her window Two shadows he saw on the shade The great Philadelphia lawyer Was making love to Bill's Hollywood maid.
(Spoken) Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Um uh let's see he the two win the two shades I forgot the words to it so I'm just talkin' I'll tell you story about it And un and we can tell you about Wild Bill went up there And he saw those two people on the shades you know And the Philadelphia Lawyer was tellin' 'em
(Sang) Come love and we will wonder out where the lights are bright.
(Spoken) Oh I forgot to say what the Philadelphia Lawyer said to Bill's Hollywood maid Now I'm a little bit nervous
(Sang) Your hands are so pretty and lovely Your form so rare and divine Come go with me to the city We'll leave this wild cowboy behind
Now back in old Philadelphia Among the beautiful pines There's one less Philadelphia lawyer In old Philadelphia tonight
Thank you very much, thank you...
