Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
 I'm begging of you please
 Don't take my man
 Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
 Please don't take him
 Just because you can

 Well 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

 Well he talks about you in his sleep
 And there's nothing I can do to keep from crying
 When he calls your name Jolene

 And I can easily understand
 How you can easily take my man
 But you don't know what he means to me Jolene

 Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
 I'm begging of you please don't take my man
 Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
 Please don't take him just because you can

 Well now you could have your choice of men
 But I could never love again
 He's the only one for me Jolene

 Well I had to have this talk with you
 My happiness depends on you
 And whatever you decide to do Jolene

 Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
 I'm begging of you please don't take my man
 Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
 Please don't take him just because you can

 Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
 I'm begging of you please don't take my man
 Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
 Please don't take him just because you can

 Because you can
 You can, you can
