I'm not exactly sure what key this song is in.
So I guessed.
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
(Chorus)
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)
