Merle Haggard - Reno Blues (Philadelphia Lawyer) Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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,
  • "Down 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 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.
