Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take her man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't hold on just because you can

Your beauty is beyond compare
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
But I can't keep on seeing you, Jolene

Honey, I've talked about you in my sleep
And there's nothing she can do to keep from crying
When I say your name, Jolene, yeah

But I can easily understand how you can easily change our plans
But you don't know what she means to me, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take her man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't hold on just because you can

You can have your choice of men
But I could never love again
She's the only one for me, Jolene

So, I had to have this talk with you
Our happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take her man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't hold on just because you can

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take her man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't hold on just because you can

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take her man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't hold on just because you can

Jolene
