Reno Blues (Philadelphia Lawyer)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Way out in Reno, Nevada Where romance blooms and fades A great Philadelphia lawyer Was in love with a Hollywood maid [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3: Willie Nelson] 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 [Verse 4: Willie Nelson] 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 [Verse 5] 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 [Verse 6] The night was as still as the desert And the moon hangin' high overhead Bill listened a while to the lawyer He could hear every word that they said [Verse 7: Willie Nelson] 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 [Verse 8] Now back in old Pennsylvania Among the beautiful pines There's one less Philadelphia lawyer In old Philadelphia tonight
