Little Did I Know

• E

   E             A               E 
1. Little Jolena My dark haired darlin'  
               B7    E 
Skin of ivory Angel eyes 
                          A           E 
All the boys in Louisana Wanted her sweet love 
                           B7                E 
But she swore on the Bible She was mine, all mine 
 

 E             B      A                  E 
Hey little did I know She was wild as a bayou 
                  B         A                     E 
Catch a man on a cane pole Hang his heart on the line 
                   B       A       E  A 
I thought I could hold her Me, oh, my oh,  
              E        B                 E 
Little did I know She had bigger fish to fry 
 
 
2. My brother tried to warn me Momma she scorned me 
My friends all told me I was under her spell 
But I wouldn't listen I was love sick 
Without Jolena Life would be living hell 
 
(Repeat Chorus) 
(Bridge) 
E       F#             
At the church in the wildwood Standin' at the altar 
 B                            F# 
Little Jolena never showed I heard later on she left with a dandy 
     D              E 
And headed down to Mexico 
 
(Repeat Chorus)
