Big Ben Colson

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 wedding That would give their child a name But she waited at the altar 'til 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 Didn't mean no wrong She just loved the wrong man Much too strong
