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
