Lyrics

[Chorus]
Jolene, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene
I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man
Jolene
Jolene, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
[Verse 1]
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Jolene
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
Jolene
[Verse 2]
He talks about you in his sleep
And there's nothin' I can do to keep from cryin'
When he calls your name, Jolene
Don't take him
And I can easily understand how you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
Don't take him
[Chorus]
Jolene, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene
I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man
Oh, Jolene, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene
Oh, please don't take him just because you can
Don't take him
[Verse 3]
You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene
He's the only one
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
Whatever you decide to do, Jolene
[Chorus]
Jolene, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene
I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man
Don't take him, don't take him, don't take him
Jolene, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Just because you can
[Outro]
Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him, please don't take him, Jolene
Jolene
Jolene
He's the only one for me
Jolene
Jolene, Jolene
Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
