Little Did I Know

(billy mccovery/greg crowe/dave gibson)

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
