Stampfel & Weber - Philadelphia Lawyer

Copied!edit Lyrics

★ Verse 1 ★
Way out in Reno, Nevada
Where the romances bloom and they fade
A great Philadelphia lawyer
Fell in love with a Hollywood maid

★ Verse 2 ★
Bill was a gun-totin' cowboy
Six notches carved on his gun
All the boys around Reno
They left Bill's gun in the run

★ Verse 3 ★
Our Billy went ridin’ one evening
Two shadows he saw on the shade
Was the great Philadelphia lawyer
Making love to his Hollywood dame

★ Verse 4 ★
Your hair looks so pretty, so lovely
Your form so rare and divine
Come with me to Philadelphia
And leave this wild cowboy behind

★ Verse 5 ★
Now way out in old Pennsylvania
Among the beautiful pines
There's one less Philadelphia lawyer
In old Philadelphia tonight

Release Date: January 01, 1981
