Chorus:

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 iv'ry skin and eyes of em'rald green

Your smile is like a breath of spring

Your voice is soft like summer rain

And I cannot compare with you, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep

And there's nothing I can do to keep from cryin'

When he calls your name, Jolene

And I can eas'ly understand how

You could eas'ly take my man

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



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



Repeat Chorus



Jolene, Jolene, please don't take my man, Jolene

Jolene, my happiness depends on you, Jolene
