couplet 1
She was young and she was pretty
A victim of a rich man's whim
When she met a wealthy gentleman Big Ben Colson
And she had a child by him.
A victim of a rich man's whim
When she met a wealthy gentleman Big Ben Colson
And she had a child by him.
couplet 2
Well, he promised her a wedding
That would give their child a name
But she waited at the altar till the sunset
But her Big Ben never came.
That would give their child a name
But she waited at the altar till the sunset
But her Big Ben never came.
refrein
But she's not a bad girl
Didn't mean no wrong
She just loved the wrong man
Much too strong.
Didn't mean no wrong
She just loved the wrong man
Much too strong.
couplet 3
Now he sits with the dignitaries
And the wealthy ladies all love his charms
While she sits in a lonely shack in Alabama
With his baby in her arms.
And the wealthy ladies all love his charms
While she sits in a lonely shack in Alabama
With his baby in her arms.
refrein
But she's not a bad girl
Didn't mean no wrong
She just loved the wrong man
Much too strong
Didn't mean no wrong
She just loved the wrong man
Much too strong
