Wild Bill was a gun-totin' cowboy

One night when he was re-turning

From ridin' the range in the cold

As he grew near her window

A shadow he saw on the shade

Bill listened a while to the lawyer

He could hear ev'ry word that they said

"Come go with me to the city

"And leave this wild cowboy be-hind."

Among the beautiful pines

   A                   D
In old Philadelphia to-night
