Lyrics
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 golden hair
With ivory skin and 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
He talks about you in his sleep
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
Well you could have your choice of men
But I can never love again
He's the only man 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 begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
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
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
Please don't take him just because you can
