Merle Haggard - Philadelphia Lawyer lyric
Ringtone: Send Philadelphia Lawyer Ringtone to your Cell Phone!
(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)
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...
