Jolene 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 even though 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

I cannot compete with you, Jolene

he talks about you in his sleep

And there is nothing I can do to keep

From crying when he calls your name, 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

Well I can easily understand

How you can easily take my man

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

Well 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 even though you can
