Lyric Big Ben Colson

(Tompall Glaser)

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
Didn t mean no wrong
She just loved the wrong man
Much too strong...
