    D              A   
Way out in Reno, Nevada 
      A                  D 
Where romance blooms and fades 
  D          D7      G  
A great Philadelphia lawyer 
       A                     D  
Was in love with a Hollywood maid 
 
 
       D                 A 
'Come, love, and we will wander 
A                          D 
'Down where the lights are bright 
      D           D7              G 
'I'll win you a divorce from your husband 
     A                    D  
'And we can get married tonight.' 
 
 
Wild Bill was a gun-totin' cowboy 
Ten notches were carved in his gun 
An' 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 grew near her window 
A shadow he saw on the shade 
'Twas the great Philadelphia lawyer 
Makin' love to Bill's Hollywood maid 
 
 
The night was as still as the desert 
And the moon hangin' high overhead 
Bill listened a while to the lawyer 
He could hear ev'ry word that they 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 back in old Pennsylvania 
Among the beautiful pines 
There's one less Philadelphia lawyer 
In old Philadelphia tonight
