Chorus:
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

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 cryin'
When he calls your name, Jolene

And I could easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

Chorus

Well you can 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
