[Instrumental Intro]

[Chorus]
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Who I'm begging of you, please don't take my man, yeah
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

[Verse 1]
Your beauty is beyond compare
Flaming locks of auburn hair
And ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Skin is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

[Verse 2]
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep
Nothin' I can do to keep
From cryin' when he calls your name, Jolene (Come on)

[Chorus]
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Who I'm begging of you, please don't take my man, yeah
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can, yeah
[Verse 3]
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
I could never love again
'Cause he's the only one for me, Jolene (Come on)

[Chorus]
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Who I'm begging of you, please don't take my man, yeah
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can, yeah

[Outro]
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
