Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man

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

Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

Now, 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
Do whatever you want to do, jolene

Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
