Chorus:
   Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene, i'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man
  
   Your beauty is beyond compare, with flamin' 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 can not compete with you, jolene
   He talks about you in his sleep, and there's nothing i can do to keep
   From cryin' when he calls your name, jolene
   And i can easily understand how you can easy take my man
   But you don't know what it means to me, jolene
  
   Chorus
  
   Now, 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
   Whatever you decide to do, jolene
   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
