merle haggard
philadelphia lawyer (bonnie owens)
Way out in Reno Nevada  Where romance blooms and fades  A great Philadelphia Lawyer  Was in love with 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.   Now, Bill was a gun-totin' cowboy  Ten notches were carved on his gun  All the boys around Reno Left wild  Bill's maiden alone. One night when he was returning  From riding the range in the cold  He dreamed of his Hollywood sweetheart  Her love was as lasting as gold.   As he drew near her window  A shadow he saw on the shade  Was the great Philadelphia Lawyer  Makin' love to his Hollywood maid.   The night was as still as the desert  The moon was bright overhead  Bill listened awhile to the lawyer  He could hear ev'ry word that he said.   "Your hands are so pretty and lovely  Your form so rare and divine  Come, go with me to the city  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.   There's one less Philadelphia  Lawyer in old Philadelphia tonight.
