Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man
Jolene,
Jolene,
Jolene,
Jolene Please don't take him just because you can
Rooty is beyond compare,
with flamin' locks of arm and hair
And ivy skin and eyes of emerald green
Smiles are like a breath of spring,
your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
Talks about you when he's sleepin',
there's nothing I can do to keep him cryin'
When he calls your name, Jolene
Now 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 beggin' of you,
please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
Jolene Oh,
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
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 beggin' of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene,
Jolene,
Jolene Oh,
please don't take him even though you can
