“Jolene” Lyrics 

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  

Abreath 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 nothing  

I can do to keep 

From crying 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 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
