Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene

I'm begging of you please don't take my man.

Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene

Oh, 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

And 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

Oh, 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.
