Jolene
Lyrics and music 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 just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare with flaming locks of
ocre hair
with ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breathe of spring your voice is
soft like summer rain
And I can not compete with Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep and there's nothing
I can do to keep
from crying when he calls your name Jolene
Now 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
You can 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
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 eventhough you can
Jolene
