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

Your 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

Now 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

Oh, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I said please, don't you take him just because you can

You see, I could easily understand

You could easily take my man

But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

You see you could have your choice of men

But I could never love again

He's the only one for me, Jolene

So I had to have this talk with you

'Cause my happiness, it depends on you

Whatever you decide to do, Jolene

Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I'm begging of you please don't take my man

Oh, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I said please, please, please don't you take him just because you can

Jolene
