JOLENE

Words & Music by Dolly Parton, Arranged by Debbie Warren

​

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

 

Your beauty is beyond compare, with flaming locks of auburn hair

Iv’ry skin and eyes of em’rald green, Jolene

Your smile is like a breath of Spring, your voice is soft like summer rain

And I just can’t compete with you Jolene, Jolene

 

He talks about you in his sleep, there’s nothing I can do to keep….

from crying when he calls your name Jolene, Jolene

And I can eas’ly understand how you could eas’ly take my man

You don’t know what he means to me Jolene, 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 you could have your choice of men but I could never love again

And he’s the only one for me Jolene, Jolene

I had to have this talk with you, my happiness depends on you

And whatever you decide to do Jolene, 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

 

Oh please don’t take him even though you can

Oh please don’t take him even though you can
