jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
im 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
im 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

hes 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
im begging of you please don't take my man

jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
please don't take him even though you can
jolene, jolene
