Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Oh 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

[Chorus]
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

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

And you could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
‘Cause he´s the only one for me, Jolene
Jolene

[Chorus]
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Oh 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
