She was young and she was pretty
The victim of a rich man's whim
When she met that wealthy gentleman Big Jim Colson
And she fell in love with him

Big Jim promised her a wedding
That would give her child a name
But she waited at the alter till the sun set
But old Big Jim he never came

Now the old folks whisper about her in shame
And the kids all taunt her and call her a name
But she ain't no bad girl she didn't mean no wrong
She just loved old Big Jim a little too long

Now he sits up in the legislature
And the wealthy ladies love his charms
While she sets in her lonely shack in Alabama
With his baby in her arms

All little young girls better learn a lesson
From these sad words old Tompall speaks
If you fall in love with a man who didn't love you
Best you kiss him on the cheek

Cause the old folks whisper bout her in shame
And the kids all taunt her and call her a name
But she ain't no bad girl didn't mean no wrong
She just loved old Big Jim a little too strong
She just loved old Big Jim a little too wrong
