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