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
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flamin' locks of auburn hair
Ivory skin, 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 cryin'
When he calls your name, 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
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
And 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 just because you can
