PHILADELPHIA LAWYER (Testo e musica di Woody Guthrie) Way out in Reno, Nevada, Where the romance is bloom and fade, There was a Philadelphia lawyer Making love to a Hollywood maid. "Come, love, and we'll go rambling Down where the lights are so bright. I'll win you a divorce from your husband, And we can get married tonight." Wild Bill was a gun-totin' cowhand, Ten notches were carved on his gun. And all of the boys around Reno Left Bill's Hollywood sweetheart alone. One night when Bill was returning From ridin' the range in the cold, He thinking of his Hollywood sweetheart, Her love was as lasting as gold. As he drew near to her window, Two shadows he saw on her shade; 'Twas the great Philadelphia lawyer Makin' love to Bill's Hollywood maid. The night was as still as the desert, The moon hangin' high overhead. Bill listened awhile at the window, He could hear ev'ry word that they said: "Your hands are so pretty and lovely, Your form is so rare and divine. Come go back with me to Philadelphia And leave this wild cowboy behind." Now back in old Pennsylvania, Among those beautiful pines, There's one less Philadelphia lawyer In old Philadelphia tonight.
