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
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
But I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
Repeat Chorus
Now you could have your choice of men
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
Repeat Chorus
Jolene, Jolene
