[Chorus]
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you, please, don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Oh, 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
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

[Verse 2]
He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

[Chorus]
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you, please, don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Oh, please don't take him just because you can
[Verse 3]
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
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

[Chorus]
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you, please, don't take my man, no, no
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Oh, please don't take him just because you can
Jolene, Jolene
