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 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
There ' s nothing I can do to keep
From crying 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 begging 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
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 even though you can
