Jolene Lyrics – Dolly Parton

Jolene Text

---

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

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flamin' 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

Oh, but he talks about you in his sleep
And there's nothin' I can do to keep
From cryin' when he calls your name, Jolene

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

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

Jolene, Jolene
