Sammy Kershaw "Little Did I Know" |
(Bill McCorvey - Greg Crowe - Dave Gibson) Little Jolena, a dark haired darling Skin of ivory, angel eyes Every man in Louisana 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. --- Instrumental --- 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... --- Instrumental to fade --- Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
