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

Jo-lene_______ Oh Jo-lene

You don’t know what he means to me Jolene, Oh Jo-lene

 

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, Only one,  Jolene

Jo-lene_____ Oh Jo-lene

and whatever you decide to do Jolene, Oh Jo-lene___

 

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
