[Guitar Intro]

[Chorus]

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

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

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

Please don't take him just because you can

[Verse 1]

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 I cannot compete with you, Jolene

[Verse 2]

He talks about you in his sleep

And there's nothin' I can do to keep

From cryin' 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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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

And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

[Chorus]

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

Jolene, Jolene
