Little Jolena, a dark haired darlin'
B7 E
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
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

My brother tried to warn me, Mama she scorned me
B7 E
My friends all told me, I was under her spell
But I wouldn't listen, I was lovesick
B7 E
Without Jolena life would be a living hell

Hey little did I know, she was wild as the bayou
