Way out in Reno,

Come, love, and we will wander

Now Bill was a gun -totin' cowboy

Had ten notches carved on his gun

Left Wild Bill's darlin' alone

One night, as Bill was returnin'

From ridin' the range in the cold

He thought of his Hollywood sweetheart

Her love was as lastin' as gold

As Bill drew near to her window

Two shadows he saw on the shade

Was a great Philadelphia lawyer

Making love to Bill's Hollywood maid

Well, the night was as still as the desert,
C 
and the moon hanging high overhead.

Bill listened a while at the window,

he could hear every word that was said.
G 
Your hands are so pretty and  lovely,
your form so rare and divine.

Come go back with me to Philadelphia

Amongst her beautiful pines
