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

I cannot compete with you, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep

And there is nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, 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

Well I can easily understand

How you can easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene


Well you could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene


And 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
