Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Ooh, I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though 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 skin is soft like summer rain,
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
And I could easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
And he talks about you in his sleep,
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying, when he calls your name, Jolene ... Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can

Had to have this talk with you,
My happiness depends on you,
Whatever you decide to do, Jolene
And you could have your choice of men,
But I could never love again
Cos he's the only one for me, Jolene ... Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Ooh, 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
