Philadelphia Lawyer(Album Version) - Ramblin’ Jack Elliott

Philadelphia Lawyer - Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Way out in Reno Nevada
Where the romances bloom and they fade
He a great Philadelphia
Lawyer in love with a Hollywood maid
Come love and we will wander down
Where the lights are so bright
I'll win you the divorce from your husband
And we can get married tonight
Now Bill was a gun-toting cowboy
With ten notches carved on his gun
And all the boys around Reno
Left Wild Bill's darling alone
One night as Bill was returning
From riding the range in the cold
He thought of his Hollywood darling
With her love as lasting as gold
As Bill drew near to her window two shadows
He saw on the shade
It was the great Philadelphia lawyer
Making love to his Hollywood maid
The night was as still as the desert
And the moon hanging high overhead
Bill listened awhile in her window
He could hear every word that they said
Your hands is so pretty and lovely
And your form so rare and divine
Come and go with me to Philadelphia
And leave this wild cowboy behind
Well tonight back in old Pennsylvania
Among the beautiful pines
There's one less Philadelphia lawyer
In old Philadelphia tonight
