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
