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 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 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
