I assume that yuo are looking for Wild Side of Life.
Hank Thompson also had another hit Honky Tonk Girl


WILD SIDE OF LIFE
Recorded by Hank Thompson
Written by Arlie A. Carter and William Warrem

You [D] wouldn't read my letter if I [G] wrote you
You [A] asked me not to call you on the [D] phone
But there's something I'm wanting to [G] tell you
So I [A] wrote it in the words of this [D] song.

CHORUS:
I Didn't know God made honky tonk [G] angels
I [A] might have known you'd never make a [D] wife
You gave up the only one that ever [G] loved you
And went [A] back to the WILD SIDE OF [D] LIFE.

The glamor of the gay night life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flows
Where you wait to be anybody's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know.

CHORUS

Cliff Richards recorded this, then when he found out the lady's profession, he recalled all copies, and had them destroyed. Don't that make you want to puke??

You get value for money with this tune, Duncan -- it also covers Kitty Wells' answer record 'It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels', plus 'I'm Thinking/Dreaming Tonight Of My Blue Eyes' and 'The Great Speckled Bird', plus a couple more, all discussed on this thread.
Sadly Giok, it's not the same song as the Cliff Richard debacle.
