Jolene, Jolene,
Jolene, Jolene
Ooh, I'm begging of you,
please don't take
my man
Jolene, Jolene,
Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him
even though 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 skin 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
Please don't take him
even though you can
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
And you could have
your choice of men
But I could never
love again
'Cause he's the only one
for me, Jolene, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene,
Jolene, Jolene
Ooh, 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
