Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Your beauty is beyond compare with flamin' locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
In your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice sound like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
[Verse 3]
And I had to have this talk with you
'Cause my happiness it depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Now I can easily understand how you could easily take my man
But you do not know what he means to me, Jolene
Well, you could have your choice of men, but I could never lover again
He's the only one for me, Jolene
[Verse 6]
And I had to have this talk with you
'Cause my happiness it depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
My name is Jack White and this my big sister, Meg White, on the drums
