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 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 altar
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
