Philadelphia Lawyer Lyrics - My Dusty Road - Woody Guthrie

Way out in Reno, Nevada 

Where romances blooms and fades 

There was Philadelphia lawyer 

Makin' love with a Hollywood maid 

"Come, love, and we'll go ramblin' 

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 in his gun 

And all the boys around Reno 

Left Bill's Hollywood sweetheart alone

One night when Bill was returning 

From ridin' the range in the cold 

He thought of his Hollywood sweetheart 

Her love was as lasting as gold 

As he drew near to her window 

Two shadows he saw on the 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 through the window 

He could hear ev'ry word that they said 

"Your hands are so pretty and lovely 

Your form's so rare and divine 

Come go back with me to Philadelphia 

And leave this wild cowboy behind"
