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

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

But she's not a bad girl didn't mean no wrong

She just loved the wrong man much too strong

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

But she's not a bad girl...
