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 

ivory skin and eyes of emerald green 

Your smile is like a breath of spring 

Your voice is soft like summer rain 

I cannot compete with you Jolene 



Now he talks about you in his sleep 

and there's 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 

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 

Please don't take him just because you can 



Now I can easily understand 

How you could easily take my man 

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

Oh you could have your choice of men 

but I could never love again 

He's the only one for me Jolene 



Well I have 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 just because you can
