Little Did I Know Lyrics - Sammy Kershaw

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 mine, 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 livin' 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, well, 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 

Yeah, surely [Incomprehensible], baby
