Little Did I Know

Little Jolena, a dark haired darlin' Skin of ivory, angel eyes Every man in Louisiana wanted her sweet love But she swore on the Bible, she was all mine Hey little did I know, she was wild as the bayou Catch a man on a cane pole, hang his heart on the line I thought I could hold her, me oh my oh Little did I know, she had bigger fish to fry My brother tried to warn me, Mama she scorned me My friends all told me, I was under her spell But I wouldn't listen, I was lovesick Without Jolena life would be a living hell Hey little did I know, she was wild as the bayou Catch a man on a cane pole, hang his heart on the line I thought I could hold her, me oh my oh Little did I know, she had bigger fish to fry At the church in the Wildwood standin' at the alter Little Jolena never showed I heard later on she left with a dandy And headed down to Mexico Hey little did I know, she was wild as the bayou Catch a man on a cane pole, hang his heart on the line I thought I could hold her, me oh my oh Little did I know, she had bigger fish to fry Hey little did I know, she had bigger fish to fry
