Sammy Kershaw - Little Did I Know lyrics

(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
