Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 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 I cannot compete with you, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep

And there is nothing 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

(*)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

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

Whatever you decide to do, Jolene

(*repeat)

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I'm beggin' of you

Please don't take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

Please don't take him

Even though you can, can, can, can
