Reno Blues — текст песни (Merle Haggard)





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,
"Down where the lights are bright.
"I`ll win you a divorce from your husband,
"And we can get married tonight."

Wild Bill was a gun-totin` cowboy.
Ten notches were carved in his gun.
An` all the boys around Reno,
Left Wild Bill`s maiden alone.

One night when he was returning,
From ridin` the range in the cold,
He dreamed of his Hollywood sweetheart,
Her love was as lasting as gold.

As he grew near her window,
A shadow 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,
And the moon hangin` high overhead.
Bill listened a while to the lawyer:
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 with me to the city
"And leave this wild cowboy behind."

Now back in old Pennsylvania,
Among the beautiful pines,
There`s one less Philadelphia lawyer,
In old Philadelphia tonight.
