Lyrics[]
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene!
I'm begging of you please don't take my man!
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like the breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Now you can have your choice of men
But I can 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
Do whatever you wanna do, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can.
