Chorus:

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man



Your beauty is beyond compare, with flamin' 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 can not compete 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 easily understand how you can easy take my man

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



chorus



Now, 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

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
