Jolene
Music and lyrics
by Dolly Parton
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
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’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 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
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,
even though you can.
Jolene
