Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I’m begging of you please don’t take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Please don’t take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare With flaming locks of auburn hair With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring Your voice is soft like summer rain And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
And I can easily understand How you could easily take my man But you don’t know what he means to me, Jolene
And he talks about you in his sleep There’s nothing I can do to keep From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
Jolene Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I’m begging of you please don’t take my man Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Please don’t take him even though you can
I had to have this talk with you My happiness depends on you And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
You could have your choice of men But I could never love again He’s the only one for me, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I’m begging of you please don’t take my man Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Please don’t take him even though you can
