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 au burn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like sum mer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolie
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
I'm 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 man,
but I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolie
I had to have the start with you
My happiness depends on you
and whatever you decide to do Jolie
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
Oh, please don't take him
even though you can
I'm begging of you,
please don't take my man
