Jolene jolene jolene jolene I'm begging you please don't take my mane 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 as summer rain And I cannot compete with you Jolene He talk 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 can easily take my man But you don't know what he means to me jolene chorus Well you could have your choice of man But I could never love again He's the only man for me jolene I have to have this talk with you My happiness depends on you Whatever you decide to do Jolene chorus -etc EMMA We were together since we were five She was so pretty Emma was a star in everyone's eyes And when she said she'd be a movie queen Nobody laughed With her face like an angel She could be anything CHORUS Emmaline Emma Emmaline I'm gonna write your name high on the silver screen Emmaline Emma Emmaline I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has everseen At seventeen We were wed And I worked hard to earn our daily bread And evrey day Emma would go out searching for that play That never, ever came her way And sometimes she come home and she'd be so depressed I'd hear her crying in the backroom and be so distressed And I'd remember back when she was five To the words that used to make Emmaline come alive It was... CHORUS It was a cold and dark December night When I opened up the bedroom door To find her lying Cold and still upon the bed A love letter lying on the bedroom floor IT read, "Darling I love you But I just can't keep living on dreams no more I've tried so hard not to leave you alone But I just can't keep trying no more" CHORUS
