Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man.
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can.

Your beauty is [bad word] 
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.
I [bad word] with you, Jolene.
And he talks about you in his sleep
And there is nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, 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 even though you can.

Well, I can easily understand
how you can easily take my man,
but you don't know what he means to me, Jolene.
Well, you could have your choice of men,
but I could never love again,
he's the only one for me, Jolene.
And I had to 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 even though you can....
