Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene 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 like summer rain
and i cannot compete with you, jolene
He talks about you in his sleep
and there is nothing i can do to keep
from cryin' 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 beggin' 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 men
but i could never love again
he's the only one for me, jolene
i had to have this talk with you
my happiness depends on you
whatever you decide to do, jolene
(*repeat)
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
i'm beggin' of you
please don't take my man
jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
please don't take him
even though you can, can, can, can
