Jolene

(Dolly Parton)



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.



He talks about you in his sleep and there's nothing I can do to keep

From crying when he calls your name, Jolene

But I can easily understand how you could easily take my man

But 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.



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

I'm begging of you, please don't take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

Please don't take him even though you can.



Jolene, Jolene, (Jolene...)
