Jolene, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene

I'm beggin' 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

there's nothin' I can

do to keep from cryin'

when he calls

your name, Jolene

And 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 beggin' 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 beggin' of you

please don't take my man

Jolene, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene

please don't take him

even though you can...

Jolene, Jolene...
