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 voice is soft like summer rain And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
He about you in his sleep There’s nothing I can do to keep From crying when he your name, Jolene

I had to have this talk with you My happiness depends you And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I’m begging of please don’t take my man Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Please don’t take him even though you can
