Sammy Kershaw - Little Did I Know lyrics

rate me

(billy mccovery/greg crowe/dave gibson)

Little jolenaa dark haired darlin'

Skin of ivoryangel eyes

Every man in louisiana wanted her sweet love

But she swore on the bibleshe was all mine

Hey little did I knowshe was wild as the bayou

Catch a man on a cane polehang his heart on the line

I thought I could hold herme oh my oh

Little did I knowshe had bigger fish to fry

My brother tried to warn memama she scorned me

My friends all told meI was under her spell

But I wouldn't listenI was lovesick

Without jolena life would be a living hell

Hey little did I knowshe was wild as the bayou

Catch a man on a cane polehang his heart on the line

I thought I could hold herme oh my oh

Little did I knowshe 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 knowshe was wild as the bayou

Catch a man on a cane polehang his heart on the line

I thought I could hold herme oh my oh

Little did I knowshe had bigger fish to fry

Hey little did I knowshe had bigger fish to fry
