[Verse 1]
C             G7          C               G7              C
She was young and she was pretty a victim of a rich man's whim
            C7         F                                C   G7         C
When she met a wealthy gentleman Big Ben Colson and she had a child by him

C               G7     C                  G7                 C
Well he promised her a wedding that would give their child a name
        C7            F                             C      G7     C    C7
But she waited at the altar till the sunset but her Big Ben never came
 
 
[Chorus]
    F           C        G              C
But she's not a bad girl didn't mean no wrong
F                  C        G7        C      A7  D
She just loved the wrong man much too strong

Now he sits with the dignitaries and the wealthy ladies all love his charms
          D7               G                         D   A7      D    D7
While she sits in a lonely shack in Alabama with his baby in her arms
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
    G           D        A              D
But she's not a bad girl didn't mean no wrong
G                  D        A7        D       A7  D
She just loved the wrong man much too strong
