Subject: How many fallen women does it take?
I was reading the thread on the Great Speckled Bird in which James in Bristol, RI, mentions that the melody was also used for Hank Thompson's "WILD SIDE OF LIFE" and Kitty Wells' "IT WASN'T GOD WHO MADE HONKY TONK ANGELS," songs dealing with women who had fallen from the narrow path, victims of strong drink, thoughtless men and maybe even tobacco.

I can think of a few other songs along those lines---the Stanley's "SHE'S MORE TO BE PITIED (Than Scolded)" comes to mind---but I thought it might be fun to see how many such songs Mudcatters can come up with. The one to contribute the most verifiable titles will be awarded a genuine invisible facsimile.
