Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm beggin' of you, please don't take that 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 ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And no one compete with you, Jolene
I talk about you in my sleep
And there's nothin' I can do to keep
From cryin' out your name, Jolene
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take any man
But you don't know what you mean to me, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm beggin' of you, please don't take that man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
You're 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
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm beggin' of you, please don't take that man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
